Pontiac Lake with Jesse. We rode there and back, which was my preference. It's a tougher trail than what I am used to in terms of climbing and technicality. Not too technical, but it has some spots that will hurt you if you aren't careful and/or prepared. Portions were loose, but it is really quite flowing in places. Some tough switchback climbs, which we don't have a lot of here. Managed to get through a lap and a partial with only putting a foot down once. Just wasn't prepared for a steep uphill after a short downhill and stalled out. I slid out/crashed on the last corner before the exit. Nothing major but it stung a little. Got up and was mostly fine. Scraped my hip/butt quite hard, skinned my knee, and a little on my elbow but was able to ride home fine. It has been almost two years since I have gone down hard, so I have done well.
