00:00 - 00:03 | We've got the day all planned out. |
00:04 - 00:05 | We're going to ride from the 27 lot... |
00:05 - 00:07 | and then take the white trail to red, here |
00:08 - 00:12 | That way, we can get on the blue trail before it gets too packed with noobs |
00:12 - 00:15 | Once we cross over Middlebush we will be back for tacos at lunch. |
00:17 - 00:19 | Yeah, whatever. |
00:19 - 00:21 | As long as Strava records my full lap I'll be happy. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Mein Fuhrer... |
00:27 - 00:28 | The trails... |
00:31 - 00:33 | The trails are too wet to ride. |
00:34 - 00:36 | All of the local trails are unrideable. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone else leave the room except those who ride Cannondale Scalpels. |
01:13 - 01:15 | WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?! |
01:15 - 01:17 | a little rain and the whole day is shot!? |
01:18 - 01:23 | I didn't spend an hour refilling Stans and lubing my chain... |
01:25 - 01:28 | ...so I could ride on the D&R Canal Path... |
01:29 - 01:31 | I am enraged! |
01:31 - 01:34 | We planned to arrive before 8 to make sure we beat the noobs... |
01:34 - 01:37 | to not hit any traffic on 287.... |
01:37 - 01:40 | to take a selfie at the trail head and then this happens! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Mein Fuhrer, there are plenty of miles on the D&R Canal. |
01:42 - 01:46 | That is bullshit...no one older than five wants to ride on the D&R Canal! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Mein Fuhrer, the views of the canal are great this time of year |
01:48 - 01:52 | Do I look like I enjoy countless miles on the canal path? |
01:53 - 01:54 | This is rigoddamndiculous!!! |
01:56 - 01:57 | What is the point of Jay clearing the drains... |
01:57 - 02:00 | ...if you can't actaully ride when it lightly rains!? |
02:00 - 02:03 | Were going to be stuck talking about winter shoes and making fun of fat bikes all day! |
02:04 - 02:08 | This has got to be some kind of sick joke! |
02:08 - 02:13 | It rained only a half an inch yesterday and my front yard feels fine!!! |
02:14 - 02:16 | The trails should be tacky and hook up beautifully... |
02:17 - 02:21 | ...not a complete mud fest disaster through the rest of winter!!! |
02:27 - 02:29 | So Six Mile has the freeze/thaw cycle. I get it. |
02:30 - 02:34 | I have been looking forward this ride for a very long time... |
02:34 - 02:37 | ...since the last time Norm blogged about riding. |
02:41 - 02:42 | It has rained so much the past week... |
02:43 - 02:47 | and it's not even going to be below freezing for the next week! |
02:48 - 02:53 | Maybe we see how many miles I can get on the canal path.... |
02:54 - 02:57 | ...playing with my camping stove and weaving through the weekend warriors |
02:56 - 02:59 | At least according to Jim... |
03:00 - 03:02 | ... is more challenging than riding single track! |
03:04 - 03:07 | He didn't mean it, You're a great rider! |
03:14 - 03:16 | All I wanted was a good day in the woods. |
03:19 - 03:23 | To hit a couple of berms, clean the double at the split and post it on Instagram. |
03:25 - 03:26 | But now... |
03:31 - 03:33 | The only riding will be on Zwift. |
03:40 - 03:45 | I'm just going to hang on the forum... |
03:45 - 03:50 | ...and troll the fat bikers and dream someday it will be dry. |
03:53 - 03:56 | Whatever, it's still better than riding Baldpate. |
