- Trailhead: Exit 7 Commuter Parking Lot - Riders: 15 of -em
- Miles: GPS says 9.5, Bob's ODO says 10.2, we'll call it 10
- Weather: clear
- Temp: 21 at the start, a balmy 29 at the end
- Trail Conditions: excellent, nice smooth hard single track, some rock gardens
- Technical Level: the usual fast paced, glad I was on the Kona 29
- Whoops, Yikes, and Oh Sheets: Couple fellas went down in different spots. Some ice wipe outs, some hairpin turn between tree crashes, and one classic "oh sheet"...Greg on a single speed managed to hang up his front wheel on a rock wall crossing and balanced (more like, got stuck) with one foot down and the tail end of the bike in the air. He balanced there for a good 30 seconds before someone helped him off his perch...wish I had the video camera!
Notes: Joined a Bikeworks group who I think may have merged with a NEMBA group for an early morning ride. Jim, assumed to be from NEMBA, lead the 15 person group on an excellent long single track. The trails were in REALLY good shape (no motorcycles eating them up in this very cold late Fall weather). Overall, a pretty challenging ride, felt more like 15 miles!
Tidbits: Have you ever wondered what all my recent Big River tracks look like on one map? Yeah, me too....see below (click-on to enlarge).
Happy Trails,
OMMB
