Flipping tired
Heading to a local town festival with friends as long as the weather stays decent. Bring on the food trucks and beer!
Was supposed to be clearing blowdown with a crew but got tangled up with shit regarding H's car so the crew is presumably up on Chandler Ridge wondering where the fuck I am...
Coffee then going Fly Fishing with friends up at Lake Del Valle for Bass, Bluegill and Crappie using small bass poppers, should be fun.
Hey @SkaredShtles you still coming to town next week?
This, again. And then working on the camper. I’ve been taking pictures, might do a full post later? Or maybe on a camper forum somewhere...
If ONLY there was some modern technology or device that would allow you to contact them...,
Dakota Ridge is rocky. True story.
Also, I’m not sure if Morrison Slide is worth it, @SkaredShtles .

CW or S to N. Climb is too many short high intensity bursts and the descent is not enough to make up for it, IMO.
It was a cold night for alligators.
RIP Roky.
Now to find motivation to do something. Probably need coffee.

East Coast riding was easy for me because no sustained climbs, more or less.
N to S. Always. S to N riders are dead to me.
Drank with the lady last night. Had all the puppies over for a play date week long play date very tired puppies
I always do S -> N because I'm always doing a loop including Dakota Ridge. I tried it by going around the lower trail, then riding N -> S, but in the end decided that wasn't worth it.
If you're just riding MW from the main upper lot, N -> S makes a lot of sense.
I did 50 miles on the tri bike this morning. 19.9 mph avg. The problem with living at the top of a hill is that I lose avg speed at the end of every ride, and today it cost me a 20 mph ride. I've never done 50 miles at that speed that wasn't a race. Bah! Did a 3 mile brick run immediately afterwards.
I actually owe my N -> S bias to you. After riding RR -> MW -> DR and getting a taste of the uber chunk down hills going that direcrion, I'm not sure I could see trading that for the tamer downs going S -> N.
Although I suppose if you like technical climbing, going S -> N would make you cream your lycra.
Ever consider an e-bike? You dont have to lose speed on the hills, you are just choosing to.
This.
I was in Boston for 4 years… Long Island wasn't really riding. That place is a flat sandbar.He rode on Long Island
Ok, I will grant you all that doing Morrison Slide N->S would be much more entertaining. You all can see why climbing the switchbacks then going down the gradual grade would be underwhelming, no?
Perhaps next time I'll do it as a reverse mini loop as SS has done, as part of a global clockwise loop.

So @Nick and @Adventurous , do/did you guys ride Dakota Ridge S->N then?! My mind is blown.

Mine is always technical *pushing* up the S side.
Nobody does this unless the N side doubletrack is too muddy to ride. In that particular case, a S->N out-n-back makes sense...

More commonly イ is written as i, フィ would be fi as, the i is small.
Your way makes sense for pronunciation, but would result in マエル and フエエト if typed with most modern input method editors.
Romanization is peculiar.
