B-Road coming off Afton forest preserve
Good dirt trail and out of the wind
Hard grass trails in Afton
Wetlands off Crego Rd. A great place to ride trails in the cold weather
Private Property, too bad
Sunday's machines: Crosscheck Single and Gunnar Ruffian single
Enjoying the heck out of my Ham and Cheese Sandwich
Hellmut and his rather large piece of chicken
Gravel, lots of gravel on Saturday and Sunday
Saturdays ride started on pavement and then varied
Saturday was a good group ride we started going south on Rte 23 and then split up since we were going to do some gravel. Got in a solid 2 hours before work and it felt just right.
Sunday saw the members of the Slender Fungus ride out to find new roads of the Vitamin G type. We were arranged a route by fast becoming rider Arik. We rode, got lost, rode, got lost and had many adventures on Sunday. Ended up on private property to be chased by a disgruntled farmer on his Moto-cross bike. We admitted all the guilt of trespassing and were on our way without any gunshots being fired. We hit pavement, Gravel, grass trails, dirt trails, and even did some corn wacking along the powerline road off of Afton forest preserve. We rode for 6 hours on Sunday and were pretty beat up by the end.
We feasted on Pomegranates @ the Ari house and had toast, and tons of coffee. This ride did not qualify as a DBD but it sure put the pain in our legs. In the evening we went to the inlaws and ate a very long dinner, italian style. It was great to have Hellmut over.
Tomorrow more riding and more suffering and I will keep my eyes open to see my name on that roster for Trans Iowa.
best,
Ari
