Village Park Chill Out The Year

Me and Jesse.... froze our butts off.     But I did clear my mental block regarding the jump on Ridge Trail...piece of cake, frozen cake that is.

Village Park Mud

Took Jesse out for some mud jumping.  He forgot about the jumping part.  Although given how much rain we had yesterday, the trails were in pretty decent shape.  Gave me a chance to track a couple of the newly cut trails for the map.  Should be ready for the January 2014 release!

Big Bad Barrington Hike

Jesse and I took our fav for a walk on the trails behind the YMCA.  Brickyard Pond area.  A little mushy but not too bad.  Nice walking trails.

I quote... "Why didn't anyone tell me about this place?"    ...hmmm

A Crunchy Roll - Village Park

Took Jesse for a little fat burner... burned a little fat... very little.  Crunchy dirt and ice conditions did not pose a problem.  About 5-ish miles at a slow pace.  

BB crashed, so no complete track recorded. Boo.

Tidbit:  The elves have been back to work...some new cut throughs and other trail options of technical nature (tried one drop trail by accident!)   ...good stuff!

Ice has gone, get pedaling... Village Park

Me and Jesse finally got out again.  Conditions were good...that is, good winter conditions.  Hardpack grippy snow with some icy spots, but not too dangerous.  Bridges were a little sketchy though. No issues.

So I'm about 40 rides short of last years total.  Think I can make it up before January?  Right.
