Great summer evening for a TNR (Tuesday Night Ride)...met up with Nelson34 (Robert) and IAmHolland (Newton) who are fellow South Bay Mountain Bike enthusiasts with a penchant for tough climbs and techy and rocky descents. Tonight's feature trail was Rocky Ridge and the challenge was to climb this without putting a foot down on the ground. Robert and Newton were stoked to give the No Dab challenge a try, but Rocky Ridge lived true to it's reputation as a worthy trail nemesis.  Thanks to (http://www.dionridesbikes.com/) for laying down the gauntlet for this challenge on the NorCal board of MTBR.com.  Tonight I did manage to no dab this beast, albeit at a crawling pace, but I'll take this small victory nonetheless.  Couple the small victory with the camaraderie of fellow mountain bikers, treats to a strong summer breeze, sights of numerous deer and turkey and a terrific sunset timed with a fast descent down Rocky Ridge and what you get is an equation for fun, fun, fun!
