Went out for a ride after work, was a little nervous after the rain on Mon, but the conditions are perfect. Just the right amount of tack and no mud. Even the area by the concrete bridge is dry enough to get through with no mud. Bike came out cleaner than when I went in (really!).
I've been trying to get out a few nights a week to try to build up to "Halter's speed" Was doing pretty good for the first half of the loop (avg around 8.8mph, I know still not fast enough, but pretty good for an old guy on a small wheel 26"), then fell off on an uphill an nearly impaled my leg on the end of the pedal (see photo). Pace was shot after that, would up doing 12 miles and avg 8.0mph. Oh well still a great night, even though I'm now limping and got the evil eye from my wife for crashing while riding alone.:getsome:
If it doesn't rain to much, conditions should be great tomorrow. Nice work on the new section (Jdog?), like the way the logs were half cut so you either go over or not, seems to flow much better now for me.
