I was finally able to make it to a trail for my first ever true MTB ride. I went to London, Ontario to the Fanshawe Conservation Area to ride the Fanshawe Lake Trail. It is about 20km long, full of rocks, roots, and some pretty steep ups and downs. I had to walk a few of the steeper technical climbs but I had a blast. I even crossed a small creek crossing on my first try! Had a perma-smile the entire ride and had an awesome time!

I was having such an awesome time and was focused on getting through the trail that I didn't stop to take any pictures. Next time I definitely will though.
