New Year's Eve - Holy Jim up and down by stenogrl at Garmin Connect - Details

Holy Jim up and down by stenogrl at Garmin Connect - Details

Doug, Marwan and myself drove to Orange County to ride up what will be the end of Counting Coup called Lower Holy Jim - pretty techincal with hike-a-bike rocky stream crossings, switchbacks and rocks. Had a blast - I made quite a few of the switchbacks, stopping to practice them - I really need help with these and there are at leaast 12 of them. The more steep downhill ones, my body just seems to freeze and not turn the wheel!!!!

One tumble took me down and Doug off the cliff - nobody hurt, but happy I put on my knee pad due to that nasty cut on my leg still hurting. It was warm and beautiful and the company was AWESOME! I am pretty sore from the techincal climbing and stress of not killing myself on those turns! lol -- Thank you, Doug and Marwan for supporting me and coaching me through them.
I have a video of the crash I will post, as soon as I get it edited, pretty funny with the Go Pro -
