Trumbull Old Mine Park - 10-1

[gmcunni]

cbcbd mentioned a few trails around Old Mine Park and since I was going to be sitting around waiting for my daughter to finish up gymnastics at the YMCA a 1/2 mile away i figured i'd get in a quick ride.

Unfortunately i didn't memorize cbcbd's suggestions about the trail so i made the best of it. Found some single track off the rocky road. The 2nd half of the ride was very dark and i ended up losing sight of the trail. I made the best of it and eventually found my way back to the soccer field.

3.75 miles in about 45 minutes. a fair chunk was rail trail to/from the YMCA. need to go back when there is more light so i can do some exploring.

Nice Gary! Glad that you're getting out so often. The bike working out well?

bike is good. shifting very well with the new rear derailleur. starting to not like the tires, i don't feel like they're gripping as well as i would like. thinking more and more about going clipless.

Glad to hear shifting is finally smooth. Those Bontrager tires effin blow. I just ditched mine for some Moto Raptors. Heavier and more rolling resistance, but way better grip. These will get me through the fall. I plan to put some Kenda Nevegal Stick-Es on the bike next year. For trail riding, clipless is the only way to go. Much better pedaling efficiency.
