Day 4: Tunnel Ridge with a Skills with Phil Sighting
I suppose the title of this ride kinda gives away who we saw on the ride today. But for those who are here for things other than the suspense, I will talk a bit more about it. As the days add up and we get closer to the KT house, our number grows. Day 1 was 5, yesterday 6, and today 9. A few years ago one of the guys at a Killington bike shop told me I should check out Rochester. I filed it away as something to keep in mind, but left it there for a while. 2 years later, I saw an Instagram post from LD Trailworks about a 5 mile trail that they just finished. Then @chemgirl said she rode there and I set this as our agenda for the day.
The trail is basically 5 miles out, then 5 miles back. And you ride about 2.5 miles to get to it. So in all it is a 15 mile round trip. You go up 1700 feet, down 1000, turn around and go up 1000 feet, then down 1700. The last downhill has like 101 berms and is nothing short of an amazing build.
At the top of the first climb we met up with Phil from Skills with Phil. We talked to him there, then at the bottom at the furthest point, then back at the top, then back at the car when we were done. Pretty easy going dude, very friendly.
The ride was awesome. Not sure I would do this every day if I lived here (spoiler alert: I would not). But it was a great day for a great ride.

Secret weapon of the contest. Super comfortable commuter I didn't have last year.

Curious. How do you know the turnaround point? Trailforks is limited on the area.
Straggler?
That was actually one of the finalists. It's a Cinelli Hobootleg Easy Travel since it was available and cheap. It's a tank but it's comfy and I don't need to baby it as a commuter.
The trail literally ends. Yes there is technically a “trail” at the bottom but it’s an old woods road.
Right on- It looked close on the color-
I’ll let you know how it is (parts trickling in)

That bike path goes right behind the house I grew up in. There's a little singletrack that goes up into the backyard that we built as kids to get to the beach. There used to be a beach there 35 years ago 🤣

Family hike this morning with the dogs at Dismal Harmony pushed back my ride time, so I missed the Fun Monday ride, but I did drag Neighbor Frank around Chimney Rock for about 8-9 miles. His first time there, he may go back. Eventually.

Good to see @Mare45 and not @Gene in the lot after.
