I ran out of energy this afternoon climbing back up chimney after riding white ranch. Chimpex or just Apex would likely tap me out tomorrow.

Wish I'd been able to come for the Crest triple, from this thread on MTBR:

And the map on page 352 of this document, Greens and Fooses could be at risk.

No way Fooses gets shut down to bikes... it's part of the Colorado Trail.

Well, a little turn of events. Started the morning thinking I might need surgery (somehow inflamed my PCL or something to where I could barely put weight on it) to full bore chasing each other around on 401 and Doctor Park. Most likely I will need to ice it and rest tomorrow, but if all goes well, maybe Tuesday?
Came to the conclusion today that Full Trucker and myself ride about the same exact speed going downhill...super duper fun. He may dispute this, because “I am not as fast as I think I am”.

I realize that, but the lower section appears to be on that map.

Tuesday afternoon probably works better for me than tomorrow.

TL;DR: we broke Wendell.

Just wait until I get my tire pressures sorted!

@rideit snapped this picture of me on the 401 trail, this was ride #1 on day #2. That rider just past me? Yeah.. that's some French guy, who lives in Houston, hooning the shit outta the 401 on a gravel bike.



Fall colors are going off... should peak in the next week. @rideit picked a good time to visit.
