Tires look a little caked.
The day kicked ass.Tires look a little caked.
What’s with the foam ‘grips’?
Just curious.
Makes carbon bars snap a bit more slowly.
Go back up and see "Day 20" seems he has a miniature human that rides with him.
Yep. They came with the Mac Ride kit
Today’s ride was damp and zesty. I’m starting to think I’m pushing my luck as my confidence builds. I never would have gapped this last summer.
Day 22
on one of the roughest, steepest sections of a trail here (@AngryMetalsmith - Yancey) where there's no way to stop, buddy ahead of me ran over a ground hive a few years back. fuckers were all up on me, in my helmet, ears, armpit, shirt, shorts...when i finally stopped a ways down the trail and got them all out i'd probably been tagged 15-20 times. when we finished up a mile or so later at my friend's place, beer and creek soak won out over benadryl.
At KT there's a short trail named Jaw which is most notable for its bridges. A few years back there was a white faced hornet nest under a rather high bridge. First person over tended to be OK, second got the cloud. I somehow went through the cloud without getting tagged; others were not so lucky.
Elk Meadow?
Hiked the Profile Trail up to the top of Grandfather again yesterday. Got far enough out to no longer hear traffic and ran into few other humans. The trail is steep and extremely rocky. Boulder crawling in a few spots. With a 25 lb pack it's a hell of a seven hour workout.
This time I went past Calloway Peak and down the three ladders to get to an old plane crash site that happened in 1978. Two of these ladders are the height of a two story house. Solo and with a turtle shell on my back they were a bit daunting.
The plane site is in one of the most beautiful sections of forest I've ever seen. Everything is covered in velvet like green moss, red pine needles and with the dense woods it was eerily quite.

Y U no ride no moar?
Also cant tell if that's a ladder or a bridge. If bridge, it has broken leg/ankle written all over it...
Looks like a great trail though.
what am I looking at in pic #1? down a steep roll?
Yeah, the rock in the foreground can clip your chainring, then there’s about an 8 ft roll into another rock at the bottom, or a hole if you miss it.
Just not worth the consequences at 6am before work... or 8pm after work for that matter.
I ride at least once or twice a week. Not nearly as much as @Da Peach, but enough to keep my ass from getting any softer. Hiking with weight has given me some great riding fitness. Still training for a long distance thru hike ya know.Y U no ride no moar?

Is that from Medfa?
It is.
I'll be in Winchester in a few weeks. Then Norwood, Brockton and Marshfield. Have you ever been to Newbridge Cafe in Chelsea?
I have not, is it special? Give me a holler when you are in Win, let's have a beer!
Say hello to the boyz in the Brockton Mob, or what might be left of them.
They are all dead or in Jail. I don't visit anyone in jail anymore, I don't have too.
