Folly on Foster's

  • Place: Big River
  • Trailhead: Division Rd/New London Turnpike
  • Riders: Jeff, OMMB
  • Miles: 8.5
  • Weather: clear
  • Temp: 75
  • Trail Conditions: dry 
  • Whoops, Yikes, and Oh Sheets: A whoops from Jeff, knocking his chain off.  A Yikes from OMMB, hitting the Foster's Folly teeter into a drop for the first time. Cleared the teeter just fine, but coming off the thing throws you down into a hole very quickly...at a tree!  A sharp right turn to avoid the tree caused a front wheel slide out and rib crushing slam down.  "I'm okay...just can't breath (thinking...it will pass right?)".  Fun?  (ah nothing a little G&T by the water won't fix!) 
  • GPS Track:


Notes: First time for Jeff at Big River, so I wanted to show him some of the newer, better condition stuff.  Although it felt a lot hotter than the temp indicated, we had a good ride.  I was dragging from the heat, hopefully my slow pace didn't discourage future riding with Jeff! 

Tidbits: Some of the trail props are missing... the scary manikin on Halloween and the Hoover on Hoover...so sad.


Gotta love Jeff's post ride refreshment!!

Happy Trails,
OMMB

I bet they took down the Hoover because they were doing big river cleanup today.

aaaaah....that makes sense! Maybe it's temporarily hidden.

Rib crushing is NOT allowed!

Neither is ankle twisting!
