kind of humbled by the final fireworks everybody ended up the competition with.
A great thank you to @stb222 ( I’ll get to know what that means someday, who knows) for setting up and managing the whole thing, not that I was in the position to actually compete but believe it not I tried! I rode more than last year, that’s for sure!
On a somber final note, for whatever reason a couple of nights ago randomly happened to be on the FB page #SSforShilling and ended up going through the threads related to that tragic event in MTBNJ.con history. I wasn’t much into this website back then so that tag had a familiar ring to it but I never really knew what that was all about. So, I am hoping not to offend anybody, but decided I would dedicate my meager SS final ride of BIYF 2021 to his memory with a thought to his family.
That means that I dressed like @Mitch and @scotth had a love child, dusted off the old faithful and off I went embarassing myself and the whole mtb community! Enjoyed every minute of it!

Great day and post-ride beers/snacks with some good friends.
Thanks @stb222 for getting this started and all the hard work. I didn't ride as much as I wanted, but this kept me motivated to do what I did.

Awesome will make sure I try to touch base at the start. We actually met in person a few times I was coaching NICA the first year for West Morris Chainbreakers. But haven’t been able to participate since because life.

Thx @stb222for the doing of this year's BIYF had fun unfortunately got work on the last 2 days but I don't think it would have gotten me out of 11th place but I'm happy with that considering the top 10 riders!

3.5 pts...3 separate rides...
as mentioned by everyone, thanks to @stb222 for scorekeeping and half assed bonus allocations. also missed your video updates this year! regardless, sincere thanks for keeping up the leader board...as a long time fantasy football commissioner, i can only imagine how much of a pain in the arse that is!
also, as mentioned by many, i enjoyed meeting some new peeps, seeing where everyone is riding, and having something to keep me motivated through, what is always the toughest stretch of the year to stay motivated to keep riding. i especially enjoyed introducing some new folks to my local woods that has become my pandemic passion project! for anyone interested in riding the Edith Stevens/Tingley Woods, and if you're in the Edison area, feel free to hit me up! also check out the trails on Trail Forks HERE...
as one of those who has no indoor riding options (by choice, don't cry for me mtbnj), the BIYF has been a great way for me each of the last several years to keep my fitness up in the winter, and to have TONS of fun. thanks to all for the constant flow of content, and jibber jabber.
here's how i wrapped up BIYF 2021 on what was an AWESOME day here in central NJ for march 21...
42 mile early am road ride with the Karma krew out of metuchen...winter pace for these guys is FAST. first time i rode my road bike (ie not gravel bike) since november 10...too fast for pictures
karma pace
afternoon ride with my wife, her sister, and my bro-in law and nephew. super casual 6 mile cruise along the D&R...saw HUNDREDS of snakes and turtles coming out of their winter hibernation...also some humans doing the same thing!
thanks for riding with me today!
van wickle house sundial - can anyone tell me if this is accurate? i took this pic at 1:44pm today (3/21)
nephew will speaking parseltongue to a garter snake
final ride of BIYF 2021...this is the time of year i'll start riding the ~1.5 miles to the local stop and shop for groceries...i suppose i could do it in the dead of winter, but...c'mon!...it's much nicer to do it when it's 60 degrees and sunny...

is that cranbury 200 filled up? i suppose i can google that can't i?
Steve Vai
Endurance Guy: Tolerates most of us.
Yeah. That one sold out quick. CJ200 is still open. As is the PA Pagota 200. CJ is the week after Crush the Commonwealth so I'm not 100% what shape I'll be in. Would also be 200k + every weekend for 8 weeks at that point 😴
that should be the ante by now?
Good karma coming your way. #singlespeedforschilling
