Slender Fungus riding and Day Riding!
Starting on Wednesday night we had a guest appearance by Kitty. It was a real surprise and treat to have him along for the very dangerous Wednesday night ride. We rode out to Virgil than took Empire rd to Burlington then the GWT again to the end where we chilled and laughed for a while. We saddled back up and took some new trail that dumped us back on 64 and then we took Campton Hills rd all the way up to Town Hall rd. Hung a left onto Beith then cooked out to Meredith took it north to the GWT and rode home. We later loitered by the redbox at the Walgreens until 1 am. It was great, and we are glad you missed it. I ended the day with a metric century on the Shocker.
Thursday turned out to be a leg breaker. I took the Cannondale out to visit my old friend Frank in St. Charles. We had some great espresso then rode north to Al Capones hideout to do the loop with the 20 percent hill. Frank is in fantastic shape since he has been riding all summer. Us grease monkeys start to ride when the season winds down. We worked it up to Silver Glen and then I rode home. The winds turned fierce and I barely made it home. Got knocked off the gWT once and finally arrived to find out I was needed at the restaurant. Without missing a beat I showered and went to push noodles.
Thursday was another metric century. Right not I am cooked and sitting on this wood chair is not pleasant,
good night all,
Ari
It was a pleasure to ride with you guys. Thank you for bringing me into the darkness. Should have done it a lot sooner.
