Another solo rip on the MTB this evening. Worked around the house all day and after a productive day I needed the peace, serenity and tranquility that come with a solo roll out in the forest.
I was a little leary of riding Nass out of Scoville Road after all the rain on Friday but I was selective with my route and other than a few sections that required walking I was surprised at how well the trails rolled.
Started into the Jug and then headed up the Hinman which was in decent shape all the way up to the stone wall. Had to walk the next section across the brook regardless, crossed rte 69 and rolled Ye' Ole 69'er which was 99% mud free and a ton of fun! At the end of the 69'er took a left on the cemetery twisties and rode it out to the four way. I contemplated a FKC but daylight was running short so I headed down the fire road towards Sessions woods across 69 and back on Brians trail and across the boy scout bridge and back to the car.
Still had some daylight left to kill so I headed back into the Jug and rode it all the way to the alligator bridges and ran into a little bit of an issue. The first bridge (the new one) has been washed away likely by the heavy rain on Friday leaving me no choice but to head back up towards the a-frame and out to Scoville Road on a trail I can't say I've ever ridden before.
Anyway, A great ride and looking forward to another in the early morning tomorrow.
