We've got some great trails for running and riding just south of us. I spend lots of Saturday mornings back there. This Saturday I was trying to put together a particular loop and link some trails together instead of doing an out and back. I bumped into two kind ladies who let me follow them for a bit so they could show me how make the connections I wanted to.
After we parted ways I came across three guys who were heading up the hill I was coming down. They stopped me and said, "Who are you?" Their tone wasn't hostile, it was more one of -- we know everyone who runs back here, but we don't know you. The ringleader of the three was Luis Escobar. He's got a website here. After chatting and ensusuring me I wouldn't slow them down, they let me follow them. It was pretty fun for me. Almost like being able to ride a bike with someone from the Garmin Chipotle Team. Not necessarily world famous, but definitely well known in certain circles. I got to find some more new trails, and they invited me back out. I don't know if I'll make it out much with them though. They are almost constantly training for something loooong. I like riding my bike too much to run as much as they do.
