Afternoon Exploration

I had some free time between classes, and so I decided to go thrash around in the woods. I donned my denim cycling kit, tightened my boot laces, and headed out.

I guess this is like a self portrait....

I found evidence of "single track" in use. It's sketchy and overgrown, but it's enough to provide a bit of afternoon entertainment.

Trails?

The locals were kind enough to construct a makeshift bridge, which leads you to "The Island".

Sketchy Bridge

On the island, you can find remnants of some old dirt jumps, which should really be fixed up. I couldn't resist the temptation to give the jumps a quick session. After all, I had Primo Tenderizer pedals on the 29er!

I also took this opportunity to play around with the old rangefinder camera I picked up at the antique shop. It's a Petri Computor 35. It takes 35mm film and measures shutter speed electronically. I've been itching to take photos with film again, and I think this is going to be a lot of fun.
