Headed up to Cowles mid morning and finally rode a bit of the upper section. Taj Mahal was great! The climb up to it was some serious hike-a-bike and what's worse? As I was climbing I realized I left my Camelbak back on top of the car!!! Duh!
I was hoping to do more of the upper section but I beelined it back down to get the Camelbak....
...and decided to finish off the morning with a quickie at Smith School. I had just leaf blew the back trails at Parcel 3 at Smith and wanted to ride the crazy dip into the crevasse (which surprising I hadn't seen before!)
Later that day I headed over to Plainville to ride with the NEMBA guys a Shade Swamp. There were lots of us and downs and I baled early (at the XX) and rode back to the Transcend Brewery via the roads. We head a nice social time at the brewery when the full ride was complete.:-)
I rode for an hour and a half today at Cowles. As always, it was great! The weather was cool for August and the trails were dry
It was a cool and breezy typical autumn day so I decided to head up to Cowles Park and ride the Blue Trails. Sadly Microburst and Inside Job were very wet with frequent puddles and quite a few muddy sections so I called it quits after riding just a bit of Inside Job. Next time I hope to hit the Blue Trails further west...
Despite the bugginess and increasingly hot weather, I had a fun ride today. It was just me and the squirrels (the parking lot was empty).
