Well I'll be goddamned. That's chocolate banana milk. WTF...
Hinesburg Town Forest: From parking at Hayden Hill east, Eagle, International, Back Door, Dragon's Tail, Wolf Tree, Enchanted Forest, Economou Road, and Passing the Horizon. 8.3 miles, 1,590' of climbing. Felt it in arms and shoulders after riding.
Try peanut butter Cheerios with chocolate milk
Rode Butter Gap to Longbranch then decided to bail on Farlow. The grind up to it was not appealing nor was doing it solo. Went back down the hill and over to Cove Creek. Missed the connector to Daniel and ended up riding more gravel to get to Daniel. Ripped down Daniel back to the car. Five hours total for the last day of summer.

Kiddo turned 9 years old today. Good thing his favorite food is Sushi, looking forwards to dinner!
our 11yo started liking sushi last year-made me happy!
stopped at a bar on the way home, drinking a double coffee porter-13% but sure doesn't taste it. dangerous!!!

He appears to have stolen Elvis' shoes

Killer baked potato + leftover chili + cheese + sour cream + hot sauce + DIPA = top notch dinner.
I've had some night shift. Excellent. Send me some?DIPA you say?
Mass is becoming beer superpower (fuck Sam Adams).
Oh and the DIPA I've got is victory dirt wolf
Victory stuff is good. Sorry, not sharing Night shift, all mine mine mine! How about Trillium, heard about that one, yet?
I got my Jumping Rhythm down today. Railed some big for me jumps with little or no fear. No blood was shed.... Need to invest in tires...
Had some trillium along with the night shift. Also top notch.Victory stuff is good. Sorry, not sharing Night shift, all mine mine mine! How about Trillium, heard about that one, yet?
I'd be willing to trade some Victory for either
victory is close to my office.Edit: from trillium I've had cutting tile, regular summer street ipa, and fort pt double dry hopped
I was going to go for a night ride but the wind is blowing at 25 with gusts into the mid 30s and I am not interested in a brutal headwind ride tonight
mmmmmm....we can get much victory here. i still credit two victory imperial ipas at lunch on opening day at beech mtn with me wrecking and cracking my rib on my first post-lunch run last year.
I still say 13.1% double coffee porter > dipa.

The section after Farlow is still pretty much the same. A lot of the old lines were still there, but rocks tend to take a lot longer to erode. The section before that had some serious erosion problems. One root chute into a right handed switchback I attempted a few years ago and endoed. Now it's something out of a trials video.
Since moving away from that area ten years ago I don't get up there often and can really tell the difference in how the trails were back then. There is an obvious problem from increased traffic and erosion. I'm all for some gnar, but some of the pedal grabbing ruts need work. Pisgah has gotten way rougher then when I lived there.
I've read some of the threads on mtbr about the subject and kept my perspective rooted in how I remembered the trails. Middle Black is a good example since I don't remember doing anything other than blasting down it, not picking a line through bottom bracket deep ruts.
Not by any means suggesting Pisgah get glazed over into flow trails like Lower Black, but there is definitely a problem than needs a solution.
there are two solutions, which I've seen play out in wilsons. either let nature take its course and eventually the ruts will get filled back in naturally or acceptable alternative lines will develop. or. toss some rocks in the ruts. I'd still rather deal either of those that than neutering everything imba style.
in any case, sounds like you had an epic three day pisgah experience,. super jealous.
next. wilson's. SOON. . . .

It was an awesome three days. Rollin solo in Pisgah almost guarantees not seeing many other people if any at all once away from the trailhead.
I got in a total of 13 hours, didn't get rained on, had no crashes or mechanicals, saw a turkey, a pink frog, a black snake, and a lot of bear poop.
Speaking of Waffle Crisp - where the FUCK do you buy that shit nowadays? My local store ain't got none.You know what is awesome? Waffle Crisp with chocolate syrup.

Helped build some forms today. Hard work doesn't build character. It makes you angry and illustrates others stupidity. Pretty sure of it actually.
Ever notice that you can ride your ass off and be energized for the effort. And build forms and be demoralized for the effort.. I am so sore.
