Bummed out that my ride yesterday wasn't at the Stewart 45. :(

Didn't know if I was going to be able to get in a ride today before dark. Schedule changes worked in my favor and I got out around 6:30pm. Rode around Long Valley a bit, then screwed around on dirt roads and fields in park checking out the last day of the town carnival.

Day 17

Fun Monday!

Got in an early white loop with doug and luke. the parking lot filled and we had 8 rolling the trails.
stayed on blue, red, white in that order.

On the first climb up red, there were a couple of hawks communicating - very cool.

Day 17

Today I started with a lunch ride, going back out on the road for the first time since the July 1 road ride to @jmanic & his grill where I eradicated a 2+ hour calorie deficit in 15 minutes. Today was just to get out and try some new glasses. I have been experimenting with this lately, as I got something in my eye a month ago and scratched it up pretty badly. Anyway, it was a low-key meandering road ride.

Then tonight I tried a new bike! @jdog sent a Santa Cruz Tallboy 27+ with @Kirt last week and I got a chance to try that tonight. I need a few more rides on this to get a proper feel for it but my initial thought is that I am not sure what to make of it yet. I need to try it at more places and get a better feel for it. It's really upright, that's my first impression right now. Anyway, excited to start riding around some new all-around fun bikes.

July Challenge Day 17: Part 1 of my 2-part day.

15.5 miles

July Challenge Day 17, part 2: Trying a new bike at the CR Monday ride

1:22:03

Total on the day was 2:29:27. The number of miles is pointless as we are mixing road and mtb.

Overall

Days: 17
Rides: 21
Time: 42:55 (8:55 over goal pace)

Stealing Pat's pic (which he stole from D). Tonight's CR crew:

Another good ride today. I saw the baby bear within the first 1/4 mile of riding, it ran across about 100 feet in front of me, too fast for a photo

Incredibly profound yet fantastically flawed
Day 18 - Part I and Part II

Total time: 2:34:22

My road bike is out of commission for a bit (turns out my ride last week didn't snap the cable - it snapped the lever clean off), so I'm all mountain for now. That'll make it tougher to hit my mileage goal for the month, but I think I can still hit it. At any rate, I got out for a mix of trail and road over lunch, and then had to bring the road bike to the shop tonight, so I shot up 413 to ride at Nox afterward. I actually enjoyed it out there tonight, which is rare for me at Nox (not my favorite place - a bit overbuilt IMO ...) But I had a massive gear on the rigid single tonight and that somehow made it better.

I'm enjoying Nox ... I don't even know who I am anymore ...
