Enjoying a nice day in December

Caught a really good Saturday and hubby and I took off on a little ride. He made one mistake and said he wanted to try on Stone Mountain! OH GOODIE! We put in at Rose Hill and went up the old RR bed to Hagan, then up to the top of the ridge to the Crows Foot. He wanted to make the loop out the top of the hill back out toward RH but I convinced him to keep going on over the mountain. Poor fellow.... he fell for it! Now where I'm so used to riding up there nothing seems steep to me any more...... but to him... being the greenhorn that he is.... well I asked him after we got back to the truck did he think about killing me? His answer was YES! hehehe Then I had to remind him that he made it and did just fine... now he has more of an idea what his ride can do and where it will take him as long as he is careful. It isn't like anything was that steep and dangerous but to a fellow that had never ridden Stone before I can see where it might have seemed like I was trying to kill him. BUT it did teach him that he could do it!

We rode on over to Martins Fork Lake. The lake level is really low now for the winter draw down. Talk about having lots of MUD to play in! If only the guys that I ride with had been there they would have been so happy! But we had the place all to ourselves. I didn't get out in it, all I did was take some pictures to show the guys. Maybe next weekend they can get there and then there will be lots of "Dirty" pictures to show.

It was getting late in the day so we headed back over the ridges. I'll admit that he did a lot better coming back then he did going over. That was all he needed was to spend time on his CAT. He even mentioned today that yesterday was FUN! I hope that the bug has bitten him as much as it has me. That would be great! Don't look for it to happen.... but ya never know.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and it is getting colder each day. The forecast is for a light dusting of snow early on Christmas morning. I hope it doesn't. Working the job that he does... if it snows then he has to work. But I'd love to see a little bit and go up on the mountain to get some pictures! Just not on Christmas day.

I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas! Keep on riding..... ride long.... ride safe!
