Opt'ed for the road even though it was 2% less humid today so the mtb would have been tolerable. Part of the motivation was reclaiming a very sought after (ya know, through a neighborhood, need to blow two stop signs, only 100 people have ridden it type segment) KOM that a buddy took from me yesterday. Dudeman claimed it was a just riding along segment, didnt know it was there. Either way, I took it back and it kinda hurt.
Joined up with same group ride and I think 3 of the 5 of us upset the leader because he was off-the-back the majority of the time. Not really sure what was going on as we were only avg like 17. Hit the local bagel shop on the way home.

Day 15

D is hitting the road again to Canada later today so we woke up early and got the ride out the way before the day started. Not quite 17 miles in 1:05 to check the box. More tired this early. But it was nice and cool for a while. Then it was sorta cool and moist.

Funny you say this, because this is one park I looked into and after reading about it, decided I would never go there.
Day 14 (yesterday) complete

Yesterday I started my day with an awesome ride in Blacksburg down the road from of Virginia Tech. I climbed up 1250ft on an easy green flow trail and then bombed straight down the mountain on a black tech, that is my kind of fun!!

At the end of my ride I came across this little skills park but was too short on time to ride it all.

Second ride of the day was a walking virtual tour of Virginia Tech via bike.

Is this a weekly ride?
Yes, every Wednesday at 6:00, though they don't do much advertising. The ride is lead by Eric Bopp and usually gets rolling a few minutes after 6. I think I will start posting at least in the Marty's FB group to generate interest, but they've had anywhere from 4-12 people and sometimes split into a couple of groups based on pace.

Thanks @3MTA3 ! Bopp just built and wrapped my Pivot. I'll need to check out the group ride.
