Took the oldest to Hempstead lake for some cross practice. Pic doesn't do justice to how short, steep and narrow this climb up from the lake is along the east side of things. Had to take this pic, cause fat old dad is still faster and more skilled for this year and she can't quite keep up, yet. Several laps around the lake and rides out on the new bridal trails to the north end.
We had to start taking the other, harder ride out when I came out at the usual SE corner of the lake and nearly hit this thing with my head. Only just dodged the thing dangling down before I stopped to look at what I nearly hit.
