First Mt Bike ride of the season!
Mostly chainsaw work on a trail in Vermont: bike a 100ft or so, get chainsaw out of backpack to cut and clean blowdowns, repeat. Wonderful warm morning after a little early rain that freshened things up.
That's the kind of sign you don't want to see after rolling down. LUCKILY I didn't have to cycle back up very long.
The sign says that "you shall not pass" due toe forest works ... I hesitated because I assumed there might not be any work going on on a saturday at ~2pm.
But ... if someone is there after all - someone might not be happy. So I adjusted my plans. I was just REALLY happy that they put up the sign so early.
It was still a nice day on the bike

Good hard #mtb ride today. This time to Almaden Quicksilver county park. Saw more wildlife today than usual: deer, a bunch of turkeys and a rattlesnake. Definitely the hardest ride I've done in awhile.
First post on a new work-in-progress blog. Some words and pictures from last weekend's Cairngorm's Loop #mtb #bikepacking ride. #cycling #scotland
Even though I felt like yesterday was hard, and maybe a little too much, and even though I was awake from 3am to 7am to drive my eldest daughter to ZRH airport, I still went out for a ride with Jeff this afternoon.
You can see the level of my fitness by how far away Jeff is in this photo. #MTB #Fatbike #AfternoonRide
Uff back from a short loop in the neighbourhood. I wanted to test my muscles, my new biking shoes (if they are hiking compatible as well) and the bke carrying system ( https://pushcomponents.com/tragesystem-rucksack/hookabike/ ).
All proofed very well! Carrying the bike over a very steep passage was quite good. ... okay my muscles weren't used to that yet :D
View of the South Island from Hawkins Hill. Super clear today, amazing views.
Considering a 60k #mtb race in September
Fun sunset mountain bike ride.

Kann jemand #gravel #mtb #schuhe mit SPD klick system empfehlen mit denen man zumindest noch kurzfristig gut zu Fuß unterwegs sein kann? So Biergarten-Stopp Qualität? Der shimano sh-rx600 sieht zb so aus als könnte man da nur so wie ein Storch im Salat drauf rumstaksen #fedibikes
