I spent ~$60 on bike repairs this week between my 2 bikes, but the bike gods were smiling down on me today! Found a $100 bill on my way to the trail today. Made money while mountain biking so I think I'm technically pro now

Uneventful, relaxing road ride in the neighborhood with the wife. Then she fell watering the plants, heading to the E.R. To avoid any surprise, hopefully just a twisted ankle.

Day 10: Wrapping up the Vermont trip with some Stratton runs
Another amazing Vermont week comes to a close and we rounded it out with our 3rd bike park in 9 days, this time hitting Stratton on the way from East Burke to Warren (NJ, not the one in VT). I was expecting very little but I came away pleasantly surprised. There are 5 (non-green) ways to get down the mountain right now, which is not a million but it's not terrible. They are also in the process of building 3 trails right now so I think in a few years, this could be something.
As I sit here at my kitchen table on Sunday night, I can say 2 things with certainty. The first is that this was an awesome trip. The second is that I am about ready for bed. This was a lot of miles & hours across these last 10 days. In that time we have ridden all mountain bike, 191 miles, almost 25 hours. There's obviously no way I can keep up this pace. But that's mostly because I am not going to be on vacation in Vermont for the next 21 days.
Tomorrow resumes the normalcy of life, at least for a short bit.

Ride 6 of 20
To fulfill my 'ride as many different or new places as possible' goal, I headed out to Lackawanna State Park to do some exploring. I was expecting primitive hiking trails, but was pleasantly surprised to find very well maintained bike trails. Several trails even had some flow designed into them with built up berms.

In preparation for my upcoming trips, I wanted to get in at least 3 hours of bike time. So, after the first loop, I headed back out to ride the remaining trails in park on the ebike. The second set of trails were defintely more primitive than the first loop. Lots of rock and steep techy climbs. If I ever go back I would do this second set trails in the opposite direction.

Way to use the most of your time in Vermont. Even though I just there a month and a half ago I always dream of being back there. I always remind myself what someone told me a long time ago. There are just as good of trails and even more friends local.

Day 11
Took advantage of working from home today to sleep in and head out with the sunrise. In the future, shouldn't sleep in and should just getup and go.
I didn't stop for a picture, but if i did was going to be the picture that @clarkenstein took. Great minds and all. On flyby it looks like we missed each other by about 90-secs.
