Saturday Ride

Saturday looks stellar, who wants to ride? Lebanon Hills, Murphy, Red Wing?? Let me know.

Wirth

Snuck in two laps after work at Theo last night. It's the first time I've ridden there all year and maybe the third time ever. Nothing really technical -- just fast, twisty, flowy singletrack. The first lap was a little sketchy with the setting sun flashing through the autumn leaves, creating a strobe light effect in certain spots, and making for a few close encounters with some trees. Second lap was fast and fun. Near perfect trail conditions. Good times.

Murphy, redux

Hit Murphy again on Saturday. Weather really could not have been better. My race fitness is definitely fading fast, but I was able to hang with Jamison for 2 laps. Other than the fact that it's almost an hour away, this is fast becoming my favorite trail. It flows like butter. Good stuff.

McBain Waylon

Ever have one of those nights where you can't sleep because your mind is racing with all sorts of crazy, random thoughts? Well, this is one of the things that popped into my head at about 3:00 am. I'm thinking of printing some yard signs and bumper stickers.

Murphy's Law

So, I had a pretty decent time at Murphy and on my second lap decided to hit the "61 Skinny". I made it about 3/4 of the way across this thing, then had to eject. I ended up killing my XTR rear-wheel, but managed to grab a tree on the way down which kept me from going to the ER. Good times. Photos from MORC.
