Hey, I'm pretty sure I only shouldered 6 or so guys. And to my defense, I yelled on your left 4 times to each person before taking them out.

We got 6-8 inches here in Piscataway. Was a wet base with fluffy snow on top. Rideable running about 2 psi in fresh stuff. I just did laps around the local park. One breaking trail then one in some quad tracks, repeat. It's great practice breaking trail and figuring out what you need to do in different snow types.

Next stop HOH. I should ride my road bike this week just to remember what that's like.

Road bike is overrated. Go fat!

I have to ride it, it's like that time of year. I has road rides. HOH, Fool's Classic, LLWH, Cranbury 200k, and then Crush the Commonwealth at the end of April. Should be a 2,000 mile month.

April and May are usually big months. May is the Commuter Challenge so that's always a fun time. Last year I think it rained everyday. June is TLD which is one of my focus rides. This year I'm helping a team prepare to break the 10 hour mark. I'll still do it solo but this will be the first time I have a group to train with.

Practice loops of the Mercer NICA loop with the boy. Finally hooked him up with some SPD pedals and an XC stem, will get some faster rubber before the weekend. The kid is getting legitimately fast.

And just to make sure I can never keep up with the boy again, upgrades. Fast tires, dropper delete, and a bigger front ring. Also spent some time dialing in the fork as he just runs shit over and keeps it locked out mostly. Definitely has my DNA.
