Well it seems that every adventure chronicled in the captains log has to do with some precipatation. This is mostly due to the fact that Utah has played a horrible trick on us all.
So this day started like most adventure tuesdays start, with some good old fashioned rock climbing. We (Brett, Andy, and myself) went up AF canyon to the membrane wall, it was there that we climbed, and had a rather good time at it. We dicided to call it a day when we noticed that the weather was planning to block out the sun, and bring the precipatation that seems to accompany all adventures now-a-days. We returned to Andy's and we sat and ate some sandwiches. We then decided to continue our adventure with some mountain biking. Now an adventure just isn't an adventure without some misery and pain, and today was no different.
We drove to the trail head at the top of the alpine loop, where we met up with Whitney and Jeff, and we got all pumped up to ride the muddy, miserably wet trail.
So the ride started, and it was all going quite well, enjoying the rain and the fun of riding a mountain bike. As we went along Brett thought that he would slice his leg open, so he looked hardcore, and then Andy completly worked over his derailer. I don't know what happened, but he messed it up pretty well. But we can't have that be the most hardcore thing that happens. So Jeff, with his brakes that kept sticking, went down a slimy downhill, and at the bottom turfed it hard. Now i didn't see this, but i heard the UFF that was emitted from his mouth. He ended up bending his rim, scraping his elbow, and possibly fracturing his hip. We being the nice people we are, left Jeff to carry his bike down the rest of the trail.
To finish the trip we loaded the bikes into the trucks and went to sundance to wash our bikes off, and to grab some tea. All in all, another awesome adventure for adventure tuesday.
