Allamuchy was perfect yesterday. I went and had a nice 2.5 hour ride with absolutely no disturbances except for a couple of sticks that tried to eat my derraileur. I started out ond went up cardiac as usual and retraced some of the ride that I did with Norm and a few of the guys a couple of weeks ago. Everything was great. The trails were in good condition, not too muddy, the leaf cover was just right and things were beautiful. There is a HUGE tree down on the orange trail near the trailhead by tranquility lake. Some of those nice walls that come out of nowhere I somehow managed to climb. Of the 3 nasty ones I got up 2. I was so psyched. All I have been doing is base miles on the road bike and I think those perfect circles that we are trying to obtain are starting to filter their way into my mountain game. On the way back from Ice Cream I saw a nice log ride that has been established(never noticed it before) and got up on that and had some fun. I had a blast. I just wish that I knew the network of trails just a little better. My goal is to get lost just enough so that I know the whole place. I ended up by one of the lakes and only recognized it from the 50k course so I figured that was my cue to turn around. All in all a great ride. I can't wait to go back!
