Today's Ride

It's a little less tech. But it's physically more demanding.. also lots of cool features to play on..

Ringwood offers a better downhill experience...White Trail to Warm Puppy is a proper downhill run

plan on riding the crick on Saturday

What could go wrong?

Why would you put a ladder/ramp in that location, when there is that beautiful rock, a natural feature 2 feet in front that seems to have a nice downhill landing? RA?

That was part of jump trail and Sprain...Some of the craziest drops and jumps

Haven't looked in this thread for a while

This made me laugh

First 18 miles of the year on the road bike. Sore ass but that will go away as always. Little chilly but the sun was nice.

Ah, so there is at least one other road cyclist on this forum!  18 miles is a good solid ride to start the season.  Still too cold up here in Upstate NY but outdoor riding should start in 3 weeks or so.  Our cycling club has cancelled the first month of scheduled rides but hopefully they will resume by May.  Till then it will just be the Mrs. and me rambling around the hills of Pompey.

Fortunately I have a good mix of road, gravel and mtb right out the back door and still able to get some riding in. Trails have been pretty crowded so I try to go off peak and pull up the PPE when I overcome/approach others.

my wife poo pooed my riding

That hurts bro. It's gonna be too muddy around here for a couple of days anyway. Be strong

oh boy Jason, that would present a real mental health issue for me right now. You holding up ok?

I'm doing more road and gravel, when I need an mtb fix I'm trying to keep to more mellowish stuff and wearing pads all the time

I guess i need to put my need to ride in prospective.. It's got me majorly bummed but there are many more people worse off...
I'm hopping that downhill parks will be able to open this summer..

Hang in there man

If you knew Jason, you'd laugh at how unlikely it would be for him to say that.
