real sure on Sunday

but tomorrow I'm road riding up to Litchfield HS on the trek, watch the Berkshire league track and field championships and root on spawnAaron in shot and discus......fun ride, down 6 into Thomaston at 45 mph, then a 7 mile moderate grade climb up 254. Last year I was psyched for the 7 mile downhill coming home, but got poured on the whole way :blink:
I upgraded the fork on the trek, actually have lock-out now :beer:. That 3" bounce gets real annoying climbing PAVEMENT.

That does not sound fun. I've had chipmunks try to dart into my wheels but no squirrels yet.

I've been slowing down to let them move and they always run right off the path so today I figured I wouldn't slow down anymore, well two were playing and they started going one way and then cut back under my tire. I turned to look and it hobbled off the trail and by the time I turned around and went back I couldn't find them. The old guy 20 yards up the trail was laughing about it though!

Just glad the wheel didn't throw it up into the spokes or gears
