Notes: GREAT day for a ride. I was hoping to log about eight to ten miles today. My bike only wanted to do five. Well I can't really blame the bike, because I'm the wizard that decided to remove the front derailleur for the heck of it (no granny gear, why should I need the derailleur?). I found out that they just don't put that chain guide on the derailleur for the heck of it...smart move. Chain proceeded to jump off the front ring about every 5 to 10 minutes. Had to manually reset it, while the high performance deer flies attacked. Even tried removing a few links from the chain but that didn't work...good times. Anyway, the trails were in fantastic condition. Intent was to map a good course through the hidden single track for the next (hopeful) SMGR. Got pretty sick of resetting the chain, so back to trailhead I went. To top things off, while heading back, Jesse Dog decided to chase a red squirrel up a tree and must have twisted himself. He started yelping like a baby hyena (sounded like he was yelling "my leg is broken!"). When I looked back, he was just sitting on the trail. A few head pats and he was good to go...I'm guessing he through his hip out or something.
Happy Trails,
OMMB
