"Official" BIYF 2016-2017 thread

- Start date
went out this morning on the road looking for christmas lights. strava bombed out and didn't record the first 38 minutes of my ride. i'll leave it to the judges, but total ride time is a couple minutes over an hour.
as far as christmas lights go, i honestly wasn't expecting any lights to be on at 5 am. but i found the motherload. the central nerve of christmas is in hillsborough. unfortunately the display was off. i'm gonna have to go back at night to get a pic of this place. it has a radio station you can tune in on to listen to christmas tunes while sitting in your car. there's even a hot air balloon suspended over everything.
the only thing i found on (besides a few lame light displays) was this one house that put in a good effort. they had this blow-up archway that changed color and a light up "JOY" that did the same.

Go for two naps a day. You won't have to ride at all...

Endurance Guy: Tolerates most of us.
Ride up to Summit and pick it up. You're gonna need the extra miles to compete with Liong anyway.
Gave you the 2 pints for an hour + the bonus

I only had time for a quickie today, so I went over to explore Mountain Way Park, AKA Watnong Mountain. I was very pleasantly surprised by what I found. What's there is really nice single track, although there is unfortunately not that much of it. I'd say it reminds me of the Tourne, but probably with more climbing and maybe more rocks. It's not really worth driving to, but it would work nicely as a cut through. I also spied some power lines heading back toward Route 10 that can definitely be incorporated into a larger loop.

Not much to say... warmer than yesterday.
There is heavy equipment on the D&R towpath at Landing Ln and beyond. They are widening and flattening, creating more more mind-numbing goodness and have worked almost to Demott Ln.
