28 mile after work road ride. Assneck still hurts from mountain biking at Killington last weekend.

Took my bike with me on a business trip to MD. Wednesday rode the B&A trail from Annapolis to Baltimore and then the BWI trail loop around the airport. I think the total was 45 miles (give or take some). I'm not sure I like riding on those rail trails. Lots of stopping for crossing and lots of people on them skating, running, walking the dog, etc.

I stay off them. Turning average speeds of 18 mph is too fast for recreation paths.

Went riding in the Trumbull valley this past Saturday on my way to the girlfriend's... hadn't ridden there in a long time...
I never realized how good that park is for riding... after all those years going there I never really found the right trails. You can huck to your heart's content all day long there.
Yesterday I went for a quick dark ride in Cockaponsett in eastern CT. Started at 7:40pm and rode mostly in the dark... pretty intense.

Cockaponsett
Cockaponsett - used to be a pretty good place to camp. Is it still?
40 miles today, standard commute except took a flat in the rear tire. I think that's #7 so far this year.

Yep, there are still a few nice shelters there around the lake, very relaxed. I think it'd be a blast to camp there.

Days getting shorter, season winding down, and since I got back from vacation, just haven't been in much of a riding mood. Finally forced myself to get out there today. Got in my typical morning ride of 16.4 miles @ 17.1 mph avg.

legs are tired from 8 days of riding (need a rest day) 11.7 at 15.2mph....quick lunch time ride, hit some long steep hills and a few repeats..that'll account for the low mph avg

23 hilly miles around the airforce station after work tonight, I haven't ridden since last Wednesday and it feels good...

23 miles tonight with a buddy of mine. Mellow pace of 15mph, but it was really good, I really needed that ride... it was good to be out again.
Went out for my usual Wed after-work MTB ride today. I have no idea how long it was, but it was cut short due to my rear wheel coming WAY out of true which really sucks since it's the first time I've ridden on the wheel... :roll:
We also tried a new route before the wheel crapped out. It was supposed to be a run down an old abandoned dirt road, I just didn't realized how abandoned it was. We didn't get very far before the road was blocked completely by a beaver dam, and you know what's behind beaver dams... :roll:
Here's a pic:
At least that wasn't the very beginning of the ride, just a variation of a normal route.

Did you pop a spoke?
Nope, but you would have thought I did with how much the wheel was wobbling. The bike shop claims I must have hit something, which is possible I guess. They said they'll be able to fix it by tomorow at least.
