Bristol Bear Tacos

Spring is here and so are the thunderstorms. While we were blessed with clearing skys by the time we started riding, the trails were still soaked.

There were four of us today and we started out on one of the Bear Creek single tracks but barely made it 50 yards before our bikes were so full of mud that our bike wheels would not turn. We then regrouped at the trailhead by cleaning our bikes and cleats. The regular Bear Creek trails looked less muddy so we tried those next. They were just as muddy and slippery so after a 100 yards on the main trail we concluded things were not ridable.

All of us still wanted to ride but the trail conditions were implossible. Where should we go, we asked. Bristol Brewery!!!

We ended up doing a 7.5 mile loop down to Bristol and back. The beers were good and there were some fun hills in between so we still had a good ride. However, our friend Ryan has a seat that looks like a taco and hurts like hell. Hopefully he gets a new seat before our next ride.
