30 Days of Biking - Day 7

One Week Later... (Spongebob narrator voice.)

Mellow rides. Resting the legs. Went on an exploration ride with Joey to explore some trails around town. Found some potential fun. Skinny and many boulders.

Great downhill skinny potential.

Then went out to Danielson for a relaxed ride on the River Trail with friends.

30 Days of Biking - Day 5

Trail of Tears - Cape Cod

Not sure why the trail brings tears, but the surrounding circumstances made it for so.

No real sleep in our super noisy hotel. All day seminar inside and then finally, we got bundled up for a ride. Not as warm here on the Cape. I was enjoying riding in shorts.

No time for pictures on today's ride. It was a roller coaster ride. The trails were up and down, up and down. Fun, fast and flowy, but the pace left many sucking wind. Everyone caught up? OK moving on.

All in all, a little too smooth for our liking. We found one boulder to play on and roll off, but that was all. Burgers and beer were more enticing and called us back to the vehicles after 7.4 miles.

30 Days of Biking - Day 4

         I usually try to take a relaxed approach to Fridays, but...


7:00am - Client meeting
9:30am - Meet the girls for some riding
11:30am - Grocery shopping
12:30pm - Lunch
2:00pm - Client meeting
3:00pm - Client meeting
5:00pm - Pack up & get on the road toward Cape Cod

...today was NOT one of those days.

Bridge blow the dam was off its blocks from the flooding.

The multivitamin

Got to sneak in a ride between meetings and errands. Or maybe I made the ride a priority. Girl chatter on the trails when we were not huffing up hills or screeching from cold water engulfing our shoes on flooded trails, led to a conversation of vitamins. I recently found a new one for athletes and shared. I should have taken pictures of us trudging through the freezing cold waters of the flooded trail, much more entertaining.

Trails need the weekend to dry out.

30 Days of Biking - Day 3

On top of Mt. Misery

B E A U tiful 
day on the trails!

Seasonal flooding on Endor Pass 

Dead fall on the plank bridge.

 Bright and sunny sky. Dry, fast flowing trails. What more can a mountain biker ask for?

Seasonal thaw waters looked to be receding fast. Can't wait!

The new ride, which I finally named, climbs like a billy goat and dispenses amazing control and confidence on the descents.

Armed and aggressive, her name is Brunhilde. German mythology has many stories to be told about Brunhilde (r)(a), all describing her as a mighty female warrior.

My favorite mossy area. Reminds me of pictures of Whistler.

30 Days Of Biking - Day 2

Took a spin at Goodwin SF. A very wet set of trails today.

Tree down on Red/White

Pine grove.

Did some exploring on trails I have not previously rode (sections of Blue/White) and found some fun rock gardens I will definitely be back to visit again.

Overall the trails were atrociously wet and will need a good week or so of drying out.

Filthy!

30 Days of Biking - Day 1

Picked up my new bike from NBX in Providence today!! 

A few hurdles on the trails today, but nice to enjoy some sun and warm weather while working on my vitamin D deficiency.

Tree down on the trail.

    Blanca was stoked to get out on the trails again.

Bridge Out!

Even better enjoying it all on a new rig.
