Canyon Fun With The Girl

Jetta and I headed out alone again this morning to get a hill climbing workout. This time we headed onto the Ponderosa Trail loop in a counter-clockwise direction--going up the way we usually come down. This gave us an entirely different view and Jetta was taking in that new view with caution! She looked at logs, stumps, and rocks like they might come after us! She got over the spookiness quickly, though, and got to work. She climbed steadily and quickly, and she recovered quickly also. She's in pretty good shape I think and should be ready to try a 25-miler in October.

I used the helmet cam again and got several good clips! No problems with filming today. I'm still figuring out the editing software, but I'll get there eventually. I'm super-excited to be able to show off some of my favorite trails especially as fall is just around the corner; I have already seen red maples up here in the canyon!

At the top of the loop, I ran into Tammy and Helen as they rode the clock-wise direction. They turned around and rode the rest of the trail with Jetta and me. Jetta was very forward and seemed to really be enjoying herself today. I definitely enjoy riding her, but I'm sure that's been pretty obvious!
