Re:

This was not today's ride, but it's worthy of a link here. An article about our big Appetite Seminar ride a few weeks ago.

Today-Thursday-After pounding rain last night, it cleared up this afternoon-mostly sunny and 60 F. - a climb up to the West to a local trail in the woods. The rain was just enough to tamp down the dust and give great grip-no mud yet

This morning I did the Crabtree Cove trail around the north-east part of Stockton Lake, Missouri. It's a wide, well maintained crushed gravel track with occasional stretches of the old road that runs through the woods next to the Lake. A there and back again route with a couple of side loops - one of which is adjacent to the old flooded quarry.

I had the place to myself, the weather was balmy warm, and it was beautiful.

About 8 miles on that trail, 4 on an earlier one, a large plate of chicken/chips for lunch and time for a siesta. A good way to start the weekend.

Re:

Today-Saturday-We rode up about 900' into Tamarancho- then exited into the Open Space District and did the great descent down the Rollercoasters and ended up in the bottom of Cascade Canyon, right where Repack ends coming down another ridge. Really cool to see water in the creek- a good 2 feet deep on the splash through-warm enough for this time of year around here, about 58 F. and sunny...

Very cool Pat! I envy your back yard. Such great terrain and history. Have a great holiday.

Cheers,

today was bloody cold!! good excuse to try out the cheap chinese soft shell trousers........theyre spot on but we will see if they survive the washer haha. some parts locally were pleasantly nice going, not too gloopy but other trials were a sideways nightmare. also got to ride some spots i avoid in summer due to nettles etc so a pleasant run around scunthorpe on a modern and muddy bike listening to the beastie boys and enjoying the sun......while it lasted

mmmm, sand


industrial garden town


usually fast and grippy, not today. went up this sideways


the beard is strong, the hills are...............few and fare between


old slag heaps have turned into mini rivers of rain water. some crosser lads were out and would have loved the tow up but they didnt offer


not quite sheeps tor


new work to the bridleway behind my house. theyve only closed the one side so had a chance to see how much theyd cleared and leveled coming in from the rear. should be good when finished although im worried it will be tarmac. my youth will love it though and its supposed to be linking around 15-20 miles of off road access


got some TOIL to take this week so may get out during the week.....
