And yesterday. Did Sprain Yesterday, Blue today with No One In Particular. We'd planned Blue on Friday, Miller's Pond Saturday, Vietnam Sunday, but weather made a mess of that.
I woke up on Friday to the view out looking like this:
So we didn't ride, and I played Perfect Dark all day.
Saturday was better.
HAB's eye view of waiting for NOIP in the Whitney Point HS parking lot.
Got to Sprain, and it was hot. 96 degrees and 95% humidity. I took my gloves and pads off almost immediately in an effort to cool off. Then it started raining lightly. Within 2 minutes I was doing this:
This turned out to be a poor idea, because nobody rides that line apparently, and as it turns out, wet leaves are slippery. I went down on the landing.
I decided I aught to at least wear gloves, so I put them back on, cleared the landing off and tried again. This went better.
I tried to take a picture of NOIP dropping off something but mostly just got the rain drop that fell on my lens.
I jumped off some more stuff.
I found a tree to ride on.

Indian food, some tasty beverages back at the hotel, and we called it a day.
