Sometimes things don’t work out.

You have to come up with an alternative plan to fix the situation.

My Goodness

We are going to have some fun.

How do you summarize 2022.

You look back in history with photographs.

So here is how you dig out a mountain bike trail.

There’s… some kind of genius.. running this contraption.. to dig out these fantastic trails.

Trout Brook Road

So I just get off of my electric mountain bike and then hop on my electric road bike.

Within a few minutes all these people show up at the intersection.

So I asked them if I can take their photograph. Everybody said sure. Then a guy shows up and asks, you want to be in the photo? So I hand him my camera. He did a fantastic job, framed it up just right left and right up and down he told me to stand 1 foot to the right which I did so I wasn’t blocking anybody. Great photographer.

This is a one-way trail, you have two choices.

It’s going uphill, if you got the power you go to the left and you jump those rocks instead of taking the easy way to the right.

Born to Ride.

You have to use your entire body to steer around some of these corners. Throw your leg out, your elbow, and even your head. Try to steer around the corner with your body, and hope for the best….😀

Some of the fun people you meet at an intersection.

This teenager kid on the right just ran the trail three times, Smallmouth Bass. The most difficult section of the complex. We followed him down, none of us crashed right down the ravine.

Left or Right

Smallmouth Bass to the right, Largemouth Bass to the left. Smallmouth is much shorter but straight down the ravine, if you have a Deathwish.

The Final Collection

One of those I bought when I was 17, new 45 years ago. Paid for with my own money, when I ran away from home in 1977, seeking adventure.

One great last ride of the year.

Peak fall color, warm temperatures, riding with buddies. Last week with the Porsche guys this week with the motorcycle guys.
