3 separate rides in 3 separate parks/areas.

Chill rolling/ shovel work to start at nesh. I always have a wish list of refinements and I knocked off one area that was messed up from the race still and then another poor drainage spot that is a result of poor trail design. Pretty much all of the drainage I have addressed at this park is from piling stuff up on the downhill side and then not back filling it enough.

Grades towards the log and then dug a nic under it.
Put in a little rip finish.
Then, First nica trail ride of the year at Clayton, the work poo riggy has been coordinating it great.


Turns out I had half a free afternoon so went to Water co to find that someone fixed the one messed up bridge. That may or may not have been me.

So 2 hours of riding and 1.5 of TM, felt efficient today.
 
Day 16 - Embracing Norm’s easy day philosophy and stopped several times to take in the sites.

First stop was to watch a funk / boogie band in someone’s back yard. Singer even called me out and appreciated I stopped to watch a couple songs.

Went through a couple of local parks and the vibe is …. Covid isn’t done. But we are done with Covid. Lots of folks having fun.

Lastly … This well has been here since the American revolution (~250 years). Was hit by a truck last week that ran off the road and displaced it from foundation. Not best pic but u can see the historic sign on ground and original foundation a little to right of where it’s resting now.

And lastly. All those bands performed at a little HS in Scotch Plains between 1968 and 1971.
 
16 of 31 - saw two great blue herons today. Watching them fly down the canal like it’s a runway for a 787 Dreamliner is something else. I’ll catch a picture of it some day. Instead of a large flying thing caught on camera, I caught a tiny flying thing.

there are 3 of them between 6 mile and Princeton. So majestic when they take off and just sail. Looks effortless. I have a video of me riding along side of one somewhere.
