Mountain-Biking from Ueland Tree Farm to Green Mt Vista (2-12-2012) - About 17 miles with 2800 ft elev gain in 5.5 hours.
Since the November last year on Saturdays or Sundays, I have been sponsoring "Half-Day Hike with Isaac" with the PWC members, non-members, & potential members posted on the PWC website. The hikes usually lasted 5 miles in 2-3 hours on a local trail. Each hike has been relaxing and pleasant.
On the past Sunday, Charlie Pompret and I decided to mountain-bike instead. The first option was to bike from Ueland Tree Farm to Green Mt Vista if Paul Dutky was willing to show us the routes.
The second option was bike the Stolmeyer area since Charlie was familiar with the area. Since I have not biked or hiked either places, I wanted to add them to my accomplished list.
It was a fantastic mountain-bike ride: experience of the new areas, plenty of exercise, heavy breathing, sore legs, etc. Our family dog, Tippy, had a plenty of exercise as well. At times, it was quite tough similar to climbing a mountain but felt really good with a bunch of short rest. I want to mountain bike again when I need some work-out in a short time period.
Thanks to Paul for taking us there, and to Charlie M and Charlie P for getting together for a fantastic mountain-bike ride.
