Creation of the Woodshed Mountain Bike Blog

This is the first post of Into the Woods, a blog set up for the Woods boys, their friends or family to post information about our mountain bike rides. I'm setting this up so that we have a common place to come and read and see what we've each been up to as far as riding. I hope that we'll be able to share photos, stats, and stories about the experiences we've had.

In a previous time of our lives we all mountain biked. But it was rarely, if ever, together. Over the years my riding has been sporadic at best, and I think Ty's has been about the same. Dad's has been more consistent and I think we owe a lot of our renewed interest in this to him.

In August of 2005, Ty, Zach and I met up in Utah to ride Tibble Fork, in American Fork Canyon. It is one of the best rides, if not the best, I have been on. We all had a blast (the details of that ride might have to come in a future post). We continued the fun in on the Page loop trail later that week with my dad. Rob was there for a few of the rides. I think we got 3 or 4 rides in that week, about as many as I had done in the previous year. We had a great time riding together.

Then, in October of 2005, Ty, Dad and I (along with our wives and Ethan) met in Steamboat Springs for Justin's wedding.

We brought the bikes and had a very cool ride in the beautiful mountains of Colorado, as you can see here.

From those two experiences we have been riding pretty regularly (with Dad being the most dedicated) and all purchased new bikes. We try to email and call regularly to share our rides with each other and motivate each other. I hope that this might step that motivation up to the next level.

More to come...
