Fanatasy Island - Jim rides it All

Tuesday we took the mountain bikes out to Fantasy Island. The trails were very sandy, traction in the flats was just abysmal. We did the Fire Loop. Jim was feeling very brave and confident; me, not so much. There are two downhill pieces on that loop that have just weirded us out for several years. Jim was resolute that he would ride these, and be deviled no more.

Here is Jim, sussing out the Elbow Slammer.

There he goes, down the first downhill. There's another deep wash you can't see in the picture, it's a pretty steep drop off. Jim said the short drop was worse than the long one.

Later, Jim successfully rode The Slide. Unfortunately I did not get a picture of that.

When we were leaving we saw this electronic warfare plane in the landing pattern for Davis-Monthan.

It was a good day, we enjoyed the ride.
