Best advice for better riding. Explore!

[Manuel Acosta]

Typical day of riding with Mr, Sean Hipkin, bike boxer of thy Rivendell. 

Little bit of dirt, add a little bit of mud, good amount of climbing, a couple 

of creek crosses, throw in a rope swing and handful of golf balls in the ride

and you can call it a day. 

Doesn't really matter how or what you ride, or the amount of miles or elevation climbed, if it will get you exploring, then it's always a good ride.

Pictures proved that Sean actually had a free day to go riding:

You know, Manny, that every time you post one of these photo essays, a whole bunch of riders think about moving to the Bay Area :).  Thanks for the great photos, and I think the orange T-shirt is a plus as it draws the eye & makes for a more focused composition.  Good to see Sean taking advantage of a day off.  Looks like you guys had a great time.  Agree fully with your sentiments on exploring.
