It's been a great run with 5 rides in as many days. On Sunday a couple of us went to Spring City to check out the trails along French Creek. Not a lot of miles, but great trails, lots of twisty single track, and some spectacular scenery along French Creek.
On our way to Spring City we stumbled upon a cyclocross race at Ludwig's corner. Quite a spectacle with a few hundred vehicles including large RVs, food and beer concessions, about a mile long serpentine track with lots of short steep climbs and descents, some tight technical turns, obstacles that force the rider to dismount and carry their bike, and varied surfaces including lots of grass, loose sand, pavement, and a live announcer calling out the race. Mostly people were riding cyclocross bikes which resemble road bikes but seem to have fatter knobbier tires (at least that's my assessment). I would also say there was more brightly colored spandex than necessary but hey, it's their gig not mine...
The weather looks dry for as far as Accuweather can see, so we should be able to get in plenty of riding this week which is a good thing because it's like, the best time of the year to ride. For this week we'll stick with our opportunistic protocol - chime in with time preference and we'll sort it out via email by 5:00pm or earlier if appropriate...
