Too bad only half my ride counted.

3/14, 1.5 hrs.
Today was a mellow day and it was raining, so I decided to hit Estell to cut a few trees that have been needing to meet the saw. I accidentally turned strava off at the first tree. Didnt have GPS backup cuz my SS doesn't have a mount and my care level to swap one was pretty low. (1:42 elapsed) I cut 1 more tree, and the rain picked up. The remaining two downed trees were too big for me to eff with tonight, so I cruised around the fireroads checking out the ruins of The Bethlehem Loading Company. It was nice to have an extra hour of light. The park has recently marked a real nice history trail which winds through many of the ruins back there. It really has an amazing history, and is nearly gone.

Whereabouts are the last couple trees? Been working locally a lot recently, so if I'm in the area and you haven't gotten them yet I can swing out.
Awesome Rick. I am in Cape May tomorrow and Atlantic City on Wednesday, maybe we can link up. Text/email me or whatever. They are about as far from the lot as you can go, near the swampy areas with wooden planks twds the north end of the loop.

Cool, will do. Probably Wednesday at the earliest. Leaving for NYC for most of the day now.
last night's pick 3 was 020 - so it is looking like 3/8/2016 is the bonus day last week!
according to my calendar - #BIYF2016 wraps up on sunday! so that should be the last bonus day.
good luck.
the window for launching a protest will be open, then it will close. We will post when it was next week.
have at it.
let me know where to send your participation sticker.

Moving time 1 hr 31 min
Just a commute in the rain. Dodged as many earthworms as I could.
The Weather Channel should be fired. If I did my job with as much inaccuracy as they do, I would be.

Thanks again for picking up my slack. I need to get caught up on this thread for the March bonus content vote as well!
I don't really follow the leader board as to avoid picking write-ups based on where people are placing. If my final choices aren't really going to matter I might just skip the vote. We'll see on Sunday/Monday.
So the last week doesn't have a bonus day?

Hey I forgot to give a shout out to @bigW he leapfrogged over me on the weekend. Nice! Don't know if I can get back to/hold on to that 5th spot perhaps bagging work on Thursday might help as I can't ride Saturday. Over dressed today based on being under dressed yesterday but had a good ride snappers!

Road ride. No pics, because pictures of roads are typically boring.
I'm fading here and that bonus day on 3/8 didn't help. @Arwen's Mom picked it up with a 3 hour ride that day while I was putting down 0 hours. We'll see if we can keep it interesting. But, if there is really a sticker involved, that's all I need. I had to swap out the garage fridge recently so, my sticker collection is starting all over.

I didn't put much thought into the weather when I packed my kit this morning. I had my summer kit with a short sleeve base. It was 48 degrees when I went out and the first five minutes I was chilly but I warmed up quickly and was perfectly comfortable. I am finally getting a grip on the proper layers to stay perfectly comfortable.

I picked up my wheels at the shop after work then spent time working and tuning the bike. Each change required a rip around the cul-de-sac - does that count?
