It's always great to end a long day at work with a ride with friends. Tonight, I hit the West Hartford Reservoir with Tonyhawk, IAB and MBC for a quick post work ride through the woods. Good times, good times! :dancing: :dancing:
Here's a shot of Babs and Tonyhawk approaching a short rock garden that is part of the early stages of our "loop."
Right after this is a neat log ride, but we didn't stop that long for Babs and Tony to play around on it tonight. Off we went.
the trail weaves along a fence line and then up a hill and through some twisty singletrack and then up along some power lines. Here's a shot of MBC coming down a fun and rocky descent. MBC likes the downhills!
IAB following behind MBC on the same section:
You ride a little further through some twisty singletrack and then you come upon a little log pile to ride over. Here's Tonyhawk going up it
And IAB going over it.......IAB then proceeded to cleanly ride a cool little log ride just up a bit from this.
From here you ride a bit more turny twisty stuff, some rocky stuff etc. etc. and then you come to a tough little section that looks easier in this photo than it really is. Here's MBC cleanly handling this little rock drop type area on the trail. Nice new reflective Camelback MBC!
After this section I put the camera away for the night and just rode.
Oh yeah and got a flat. Thanks for the help with the CO2 cartridge Babs!
It was fun to bring my camera out again....but man I'm rusty........my photos kinda suck. I'll have to do better next time - tomorrow night maybe?

Between hockey Monday night and riding last night, my legs are feeling it today.
It was a hot one. I was sweating like 'Loco thinking about doing a drop.'
