Manic Mechanicals

  • Place: Village Park, Swansea, MA
  • Riders: Bob, Jeff, Matt, OMMB and Jesse
  • Miles: seven and three quarters
  • Weather: very light snow left its mark before we arrived
  • Temp: 30
  • Trail Conditions: thin crust of snow, surprisingly grippy 
  • Whoops, Yikes, and Oh Sheets: a couple of wipe outs by Jeff, tire seal issues
  • GPS Track:



Notes: Other than Jeff slipping around on a hard rear tire, this was a good ride.   To keep the air in Jeff's new tubeless setup, high pressure was needed.  High pressure + crusty snow + roots = crash times three!  Once his right shifter broke, he decided that today would be best spent in the truck at the parking lot...so he sadly hiked out in hopes for better days to come.

Tidbits: Some pics of the new Elf features can be found by clicking on the icons in the map above.

Apparently Elves also keep the woods clean of human trash...


...nice elves!

Happy Trails,
OMMB
