Let's get back to mountain biking...

Just registered for Circumburke on 10/13. 27 miles and 3400 ft of potentially cold, muddy fun. Who else is in?

If all goes to plan I may be there doing the Circumberzerk (assuming no rain, fuck that ). I haven't ridden a MTB in years and will be demoing one.

What can go wrong?

I'll likely have 6,000 miles on the road by that time so fitness won't be an issue....

Another flash flood warning down in GLs neighborhood. I guess he predicted the summer weather when he titled the thread!

Yeah a bunch of spots down here got between 2-4" of rain today. I drove through some deep water on the roads and some creeks were overflowing and running over the road in western CT. Sketchy...

Norwich University Home Coming this weekend. There's gonna be a bunch of food trucks and what not parked at the Trail Head basically. Things are running nice, if you have not ridden here, it'd be a good weekend to check it out. PM me for a route, we don't really have maps or signs.

NH bow season starts Saturday. Little courtesy can go a long way.

What class are you Circumburkers signed up for? Thinking about this one also.

I did the open/non race/just a ride class bc I’ve got a crew I’m riding with. Not all were on board with a full on race. We’ll be the ones having safety meetings every few miles.

In for the circumbezerker. Cuz why not. More suffering for your $$.

Going to be a great weekend to grind out some miles!

I'm all graveled out after last weekend. Just got a new wheelset for my Hightower so its prime MTBing for the foreseeable future. Long term forecast is looking good. Get it while you can.

[jackstraw]

Whatcha get for wheelset?

Whatcha get for wheelset?

Race Face ARC 30 29er rims on Hope hubs. Nothing fancy, just a reliable, work horse wheelset.

Perfect

Amazing out today. 3 hour loop. Top ten weekend on tap. Get it.

Hope everyone was able to get out and ride something somewhere today

We did a night ride last night. Everyone had upgraded their lights but I was still using my old geomangear set up.

I ordered two new lights this morning.

Vermont’s favorite urban trails. Hot times in the city:

Tried to mix up brown side walks and butthole clenching natural trails the past couple of days.





Can’t really ask for better weather and trail conditions.

Will be @ Thunder Mtn. tomorrow. Maggot jersey or red plaid on a Commencal dh bike.

Fog didn't burn off until 1 and that combined with all the rain we had last week meant some slick sweaty rocks. Did see this little porcupine on the ride though.

Maybe the dumbest sign ever created. Triple black diamond. What does that even mean?

Nabbed an 18 miler in the Fells this morning. Very nice conditions.
I'll be going back to trim back some vegetation and reduce a couple of fallen trees.

Was able to get a quick ride in early evening tonight. Took one of my students to Yarmouth for the first time (best option considering the time). Man, the kid is a ripper! So fun seeing him in his element. Made it back just as it got dark.

The sunset across the water was too beautiful to pass up

A quick ride Friday evening and trails that were slick as fuck and water flowing strong while trail running Tues/Wed are dry again.




Ferns have died back



Chilling Saturday on the deck, saw 3 shooting stars and wedding fireworks as well.




Sunday gravel to Braintree gap and back, talked with a group of ADV riders who came down right after me, thought I was nuts to do it on drops. The talkative ringleaders 1290 looked like overkill.

So tired of July weather, looking forward to the cool down this week to normal. And it looks like Gravity is going to get wet again.
