Met up with Greg and Tim this morning for a 2.5ish hour tour of Stone Rd. Tim had never been in that area so it was nice to give him the tour. The conditions were a bit on the tricky side due to the multitude of wet leaves on the trails. None of us brought our A game, so it worked out well that we were all about on the same page. I'll let the other guys fill in the details, or I'll do it later. Still having this wicked cold I have way too big of a headache to put much thought into it. ;)

The only real thing of note for me was actually getting some air on those dirt jumps towards the end of the free ride trail. They may seem lame to most people, but I consider it an improvement on my part. :) I also made it up and down the large rock with the ladder down the backside. I'd never put much effort into it before because I thought it was beyond me, but it turned out to be easier than I thought.

Great to get a chance to show Tim the Stone Road area. We rode 5.32 miles.

Indeed! I like that loop that we did, you get a little bit of everything.

I was glad to see that there's been just enough traffic over there to pack down the leaves, making it easy to follow the trails. Even on the newly cleared stuff.

Oh yeah - very navigable. I guess the ride, my lingering cold and the three Long Trail Harvests made me a bit sleepy yesterday. I hit the pillow at 8:15 pm. :blink: Gotta love a solid 10 hours.

I could have easily went to sleep at 8:15pm yesterday. I was pretty spent all day, for the same reason's, except I had a rum and coke instead of beers.
