Fuel EX 9.8. Cloudy, cool and humid. This was the only dry park yesterday and that only lasted until 11:30 am. I got up very early @ 4:45 am and did the long ride down here to start riding at 8:05 am. I didn't see any critters but I did see 3 other mountain bikers and talked one at the trailhead who was a retired professor from Illinois State. He gave me some great suggestions on 4 or 5 MTB parks around Peoria. This was my second trip down to Comlara and this time I parked and started the ride at the bike park trailhead on the West side of Evergreen Lake. I rode up on trails 3, 2, 1 and some of the grass/woodland sections plus 2 trips around the Bovine Flow trail up at the top of the park. Trails 2 and 1 are some of the oldest and by far have the hardest sections with some severe ravines and rooty sections. I returned to trail 3 in the opposite direction then hit trails 4, 5, 6 & 7 in both directions then a bit more on trail 3 before heading back to the trailhead before the rain started. I rode a bit farther this time at a slightly faster average speed and I felt a lot more confident this time. A bit more climbing this time too.
