What a fantastic Thanksgiving! Despite my often grumblings about life, I should be thankful for a lot of things, and I am. This week, was a perfect way to clear up my mind and give thanks. What better way than by riding hard and long.
So the recap of the week:
Monday and Tuesday were a little damp, and a little cold, shortish night rides after work. But in great company.
Had half day Wednesday, the weather was absolutely gorgeous, in 70s!!! So I took the whole day off and rode Wissahickon up and down for 5 hours, probably clocking around 30 miles!
Did a small fun ride on Thursday morning at Clayton, one loop, about 6 miles. Perfect little appetite builder for T-giving dinner!
Took Friday off from riding to do a little TM with few good friends. And it was back in the saddle for and improve, unsanctioned, unofficial "off season training race" with some folks from MTBNJ.com. The trails were super rocky, and the climbs were long and super steep, it was cold in teh morning, but warmed up by the late AM early afternoon.
And to top it all off was the crowning Sunday bi-park ride we pulled off with a fellow rider from PMBA, Wissahickon and Belmont in one day. He had a GPS and made a google earth track!!!

The leaves were down, and one part it was like riding over an oriental rug. The leaves must've been snapped by a cold frost and high winds, because they fell to the ground and were all still pale salad green, bright yellow, and reddish, without any decomp brown colors at all!!! The whole place looked magical!
