Right Back Here

A rare Saturday morning group ride for me... Al, Bob, Erik, Jack, Marco, Matt, and a couple two three others.  Good ride back on the Satori.

Big Night River

• Trailhead: Burnt Sawmill Rd 
• Riders with OMMB: Jeremy and Al
• Miles: almost 12

Notes: We followed Jeremy around his favorite route at Big River.  I was on Bob's Superfly Elite, since he never takes it there ;) and Al was chugging along on his Niner single speed (God love ya).  Of course Jeremy was showin us up on his 26!  Bob's bike was like riding a bucking bronco, quick...but can't wait to be on a full suspension again.   Lights went on about mile 10.  Good times.

All for this... Night Time Trial #1

Notes: Several rides early this week, mostly preparing the course for the BikeWorks Night Time Trial.  The turn out was great...30 riders.  Riding the course with demo lights from Light in Motion as fast as you possibly can was a real challenge at night. I managed a surprisingly good finish time, I'm sure home court advantage had lots to do with it. It was awesome to see the course markers shining at night with alien like lights buzzing around the woods.  A great time, all the prep work was worth it!

Hansel and Gretel Two for Tuesday

The morning ride with Bob consisted mostly of marking the Night Time Trial loop with reflective tacks.  Something that Hansel and Gretel could have used.   But unlike Hansel and Gretel, birds did not eat our tacks (the animal activists would be quite upset with that), instead we ran out of tacks about half way. 

The evening ride with Jesse was an attempt at finishing the trail of tacks, then riding a bit of the course to see how the "reflective" tacks showed up.   Both attemps were a fail...could not find said tacks at either Walmart in the area, then when riding the trails that were done, could not see the markers very well.  Re-plan!

Tidbits: Came across John, Tim, and a new guy Josh on the trail.  Looks like there's going to be a lot of night riders this season!  Light -em up!

The NTT Loop

Bob and I looped the Night Time Trial route with no stopping...for the fun of it.

And here's another way to store and compare your rides that Bob told me about...

Columbus Day is for hiking right? (Arcadia)

Right!  So that's what we did.  A nice 8 mile loop around Arcadia with Teri, Cara, Josh and the four-leggers (Shiloh, Ollie, and Jesse).   Other than the overabundance of horse crap on the trail and a freaky bow hunter just standing in the middle of the woods, we had a good time.

(I'll get pix posted soon)
