Playing Hooky

There are not many firm hard rules in life but one cardinal rule to live by is if you are going to play hooky, get a mountain bike ride in that day. No excuses. I'm such a proponent of the concept I got in two. The first one was about a two hour spin in Paradise Valley and I'm ashamed to say that I had never been there before. Probably 10 minutes from my house. But that's all changed. The Lloyd trail alternate is pretty fun and the single track in the mountain bike park portion is twisty goodness. I have an exhausted dog and a DiamondBack Sortie Black that desperately needs cleaning. It's the sort of trail that would be awesome on a single speed in the slop.Here's the DL provided by EMBA.
