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

Ich glaube ich muss mir um mein #MTB Sorgen machen. Kaum hat man es 12 Jahre und 31000 km in Gebrauch, gibt es den Geist auf ☹️ Böse bin ich ihm nicht: es trug mich mehrfach über die Alpen und hat viel Spaß gemacht.
Aufgefallen ist der kleine Riß weil ich ungewohnte Geräusche hörte und nach dem Steuersatzspiel schaute. Ansonsten ist alles noch unauffällig.
Ich beobachte das Y jetzt mal, reparieren werde ich da nichts mehr. Wenns nicht wächst, fahre ich es einfach weiter. #fahrrad #mdrddG

My 5 hour ride to the Mendips and back got extended after following a new trail I've never done before. I accidentally ended up on the wrong side of the hills.

I did manage to get emergency sustenance in Cheddar from the Gorge Café – special callout for their cider fruitcake. But it did mean that I didn't get home until seven hours after I set off. The sun was actually dipping behind the trees on the final climb -I was starting to worry about whether I was going to need lights.

If I do this route again, I'm going to have to pedal faster.

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
