This Is Bike Trials

Finally, after a month off the bike due to weather, migraines, etc., I was able to rejoin the local crew for a much-needed group ride. The ground has been covered with snow for weeks, so the normal spots haven't been rideable. But grab some pallets and random scrap and you've got yourself a trials playground! In this case, the sketchier and more ridiculous, the better. Not only does it provide challenges to test your skills, it also offers plenty of laughs. This ride was such a good time!
