"Slugging on a Friday" - 6/18/10 - Big River - RI

- Trailhead: Burnt Sawmill Rd heading east
- Riders: OMMB
- Distance: 5.5 miles
- Temp: 91
- Weather: clear, dry
- Trail Conditions: great
- Wildlife: 1 youngen chipmunk, 1 baby toad, 1 teenage toad, 2 National Guardsmen carrying full gear (must have been training or being punished for something)
- Whoops, Yikes, and Oh Sheets: just a little flop in some rooty mud

Notes: Friday's lunch was half a burrito at Cilantro's, Friday's extended lunch was....bike.  I wanted to GPS track the cool singletrack that T and I rode last week.  But this week's Friday Big River Run did not go as well as last Friday's...I was very sluggish!  Didn't even complete the whole loop.  

Here's my excuses...

1) full - half a Cilantro's burrito is about the size of three normal burritos.

2) tired - drained from watching the Celtics, without their starting center Perkins, use up every ounce of energy they could to hold off the LA "Bryants".

3) drained - see the temperature noted above.

4) solo - no one there to push me along, I tend to be more conservative when alone...actually causing a reverse effect on the ride due to lack of momentum.

Tidbits: Looking forward to camping and riding at Northeast Kingdom Trails, East Burke Vermont next weekend!

Happy Trails,
OMMB
