    6 Mile Run Conditions

    Rode from canal lot to blue/red/orange/red/lot this am. Amazing conditions. Not much mud but where expected. Wish I lived closer so I could make this my home field.

    Mercer County Park Conditions

    I rode Mercer yesterday. There is still more mud than usual in the normal spots that hold water, so that back blue trail north of the boathouse is probably a mess. It holds water even when the rest of the trails are dry, so I wouldn't recommend it.

    I'm planning on doing Mercer tomorrow including north of the boat house (new forks need to be tested out on all those roots!). I'll post tomorrow if I get there...

    Mercer County Park Conditions

    Rode the blue trail out to the boathouse and the backtrail to the east parking lot. Two trees down - one is about 100 feet before the fire road, and the other is a bit past that, but I don't remember specifically. The second one is very large - a "throw your bike over" size trunk. Also rode...

    Clayton Park Conditions

    Rode Clayton this afternoon - it was amazing. Great conditions: dry, some sandpits here and there...a lot of people using the park, walkers, hikers, bikers, and some dogs, but no real issues. Quite a few horse apples around, so the equestrians are taking advantage of the great weather too...

    Mercer County Park Conditions

    Rode this afternoon to the boathouse and west side sans the dam area. Perfect conditions. Great time to ride before the thorns, etc. pop up all over.

    Rib Protection?

    3 ribs and a concussion Glad to see I'm not the only one suffering from ribs. I just busted 3 and a slight concussion too. Painful isn't even the word. And on top of it, I'm going to miss riding during my favorite season. Maybe I can get some bubble wrap and make it work...

    Cape Cod

    Thanks! Great Biking in Cape Cod Thanks for the suggestions. I got to ride almost every day and my fav, by far, was the Trail of Tears area. Well-marked trails, rocks, roots, and plenty of hills. A great ride- the highlight of my trip!
