Day 10 - finally some dirt again!
Some of my friends from a car forum were getting together for lunch in upper Bucks and asked me to go. Since I'd be near by, I decided to try riding at Nox. The trails weren't too bad - mud in the usual areas that stay wet, but otherwise it was a nice day out. The Tower Rd lot was almost empty and I didn't see many people on the trails, riding or hiking. After eating a big lunch, followed by a spirited drive to get ice cream (well - "spirited" as far as driving a minivan can be). I set out on my ride. 15 min in, I realized I'd forgotten to put on my pack - so I had no water. Well... I'd only be out for an hour and a bit, so I figured I'd be ok. And I was. It did however, remind me of how awesome it is to ride without a pack on my back. I need to work on that...

After the ride - I tried to meet back up with the group, but they had gone home. But I did hang out with one friend at his place. Rode in his huge '77 Caddy Deville he and his wife plan to drive out west for their 5 year anniversary. And got to look at his BRZ rally car. He rides a bit as well, but unfortunately he has a bit of carpel tunnel and can't hold the bars for very long without severe pain.
