MTB Post Work Bliss

The recent moisture in central Oregon has made from some perfect trail conditions.  The area drains really quickly and when it rains, the moisture helps to pack down the moon dust that the local area trails are notorious for.  It had been a crazy and long week over the past seven days and this was just what the mind needed to work out the whackiness that life occasionally throws at you.

It was just about perfect in all aspects.  I ran into one person on the trails while out snaking the dirt trails.  I rode up Ben's in the Phil's complex up towards Whoops and then cutover to Storm King that was riding like magic, then back to COD to finish off back to Phils.  That one person I ran into...he was just getting started at Phils so I pretty much had the woods to myself shortly after the parking lot, which is rare - although not that rare as soon as you get away from the lower Phil's trails.  I hear a lot of people complain about the number of people out on the Phil's trail system but the reality is if you ride a few miles up the system it thins out pretty quickly and you can often times find rides where you run into very very few people.
Thanks Bend for the quick therapy sesh -
