Well it rained most of yesterday , and the forcast was for the rain to taper off over night be cludy in the morning and clear as the day went on.
Well it stopped raining during the night and when I got up it was cloudy and 55 degrees, checked the weather they were still saying clearing, cool.
so Today , Me , IF_rider, Berkshire_ride, Ben-o and RIP went out for anther installment of Berkshire riders 4 Hr Weekend ride series, today , Vietnam over to Peppercorn Hill , Via the Quaries.
We started of nicely had a good pace going. found a few Spots to play
Here is Ben-O working on his Hucking skills ( starting small) with RIP in the background
Well , RIP was suffering badly and finally called Bail out , so we got him to a Bail point , dropped him off.
Then it started to RAIN!!! This was not in the forecast! and it just kept raining as we made our way over to Peppercorn, needless to say we got wet! Very Wet . so we were going at a good clip and when on one of the climbs Berkshire rider had a Small problem.
he bent his inner chainring BAD!!!
We managed to Make it so the crank could at least do a full revolution with out hitting the frame and he would have to live in his Middle ring the rest of the way. but he was going again ,
and here he is climbing up a Nasty climb with lots of rocks. Ben-o got off easy ( with the camera that is ) because I had started up this Bitch , when he Fell full body into a Puddle , Dam I wish I could have gotten a pic of that !
once we got to the top of Peppercorn Hill , Berkshire rider , Needed to Huck it !
On our way Back, IF_rider found some rocks to play on! ( after he discovered he really did have Brakes )
You can see how Bad the sky Looks !
well We were already soaking wet , so why Not just ride right through the Charles River ! It hasa Very nice firm bottom which made it quite easy.
and fianlly Here is part of the GPS track from today , Just the peppercorn hill section , we went around it clockwise.
and of course just as we got back therain stopped! Go figure !
