Nocturnal rockhoppers ride TC again

29 10 2008

The nocturnal rockhoppers were spotted downtown last night.  Cool weather (and the fact that I didn’t send out a reminder email) kept their numbers small, but three creatures were spotted congregating around the rocks at the zoo.  Unfortunately photographs only showed fuzzy shapes drifting in and out of the darkness.

2WT will continue to ride until snow is on the ground.  We will start riding at 4 PM next Tuesday to adust to the time change this weekend.

It was a frosty ride, but we had fun anyways

A cold north wind was blowing, but the skies were clear so a small group gathered at the bridge to ride.  Nathan was all over the rocks at the zoo – showing off what a week of diligent practice (and a good foundation of bunnyhop skills) will do.  Max continues to up the level of his challenges.  Oh, to be young again 🙂

The forecast isn’t looking good for tomorrow.  We may have snow flying or on the ground – so we will see.





Traverse City Rockhoppers come out in the light

Well, another excellent turnout on a really great evening to ride.  The 2WT rockhoppers came out of the dark and migrated to the faux rocks at the zoo early into the ride.  There are some really good challenges, and lots of options on the rocks.  It was good having Matt and Alan back, as well as Alisa.  Some really solid riding, and lots of improvement from everyone!

Goin' up.  I love these rocks!
