I have been getting reports over the past few days about someone camping at our trailhead, which is on private property. Got a text early this morning, rolled out, drove over, took photos (guy in his 20s sleeping in a beat up VW), woke him up and told him to leave. He got feisty, I dialed 911, he departed.

Tired after yesterday's ride up high'ish in the mountains.

I should ride again today as the weather isn't great at all tomorrow and Monday looks suspect too.

Hello all. Worked 2:30-10 last night. Riding back on my off road route in the dark (albeit with 2,200 lumens) is mildly creepy.

Coffee today. Storms throughout the day, do probably just Legos with the kids intermixed with some chores. Probably hop on the trainer at some point. Tonight is pizza night.

After reading jbp’s post I think I’ll head to Maine to see if the campsite I dismantled on our land has reappeared.

I was planning on a ride this morning but I decided I needed more sleep. So now its project time. New kitchen screen door is now 90% painted (last 10% has to wait for the rest to dry so I can get to it). need to mow the lawns before it hits 90. Beer, Hammock and BBQ after that.

Holy hell. A buddy had a big ass maple tree that was half dead, so he had it dropped. It's cut into 16" rounds, but the bottom is 3+ feet wide. I took out a good section of the middle. Just split it into movable chunks, that was enough for today. I told him if he doesn't have any takers, I'll grab a chainsaw and section up some of those rounds.

Decided to check out some squiggles on a map. At the beginning it was sweet, at the end it was interesting.

29mi and 3300ft of vert isn't to shabby for the South.

I traversed the mountain in the back from south to north. Last bit had 8mi pavement to get to my car
and what I thought was 2~3mi singletrack at the end of this dove field.

Unfortunately 9yr old map was no bueno and
no trail was found;bike portage thru raw forest up -12% grade back to car.
Enderpo Success!

And mountain biking is so much fun I snagged three shuttles in Chattanooga before sunset.
