I'll be back at the soccer fields again tomorrow morning, I think Aarons healed up enough to join me. Saw you guys today, but felt like controlling my own destiny, and being a minute away from my truck when the rain got heavy made me feel like it was a good decision.
Got a new start to the ride figured out now, I think my adrenaline junkie son is going to love it:razz:. I know I did, like 4 times today. Of course, I called it the "pid" the first time:dunce:, then when I got my bearings and turned around, it became the "dip'".

We saw you, but wasn't positive that was you. I was the one on the bright blue bike. We were out by Stone Road when it started raining, actually felt good, but did get soaked.

I guess I'm just going to ride local around 10am-ish.

Yeah, we thought that might be you, but you cruised by before we could say anything. We were wondering how well the dip would ride going backwards from the way that we normally ride it...

We only got a little wet, it really wasn't too bad. We did cut the ride a bit short to try to stay on the dry side though...

Tim, if you see this and want to give Nepaug a shot let me know, I'll be game.

riding the "pid" was pretty good. Great trail. I can't attain the "pid" but no worries, I like hiking too, and this climb gets those muscles woken up as well. Did the trail backwards twice, and frontwards twice. We'll be there I'm guessing 9:30, you're welcome to join us. We'll be out for probably our usual 1.5ish hours.

I'm guessing Nepuag may be a little to wet to ride today, that place doesn't drain that well from what I have read. I don't have that much time today so I am going to stay local and head to the Holyoke Range. Either going to batchelor street to ride some rocky gnar or over to the Earls side to get some vert :-(

Ended up hitting the road instead to save time. Longest ride to date, 29.6 miles in 1 hour 48 minutes. Also my first ride with some extended climbs. One decent climb on rt 168 in suffield was about 1.5 miles long and I was able to average about 11mph going up and hit 42mph going down the back side. That was kind of scary, but fun!
