Rode in the forest last night. They graded some parts of the road. Filled in some of the holes. With soft stuff. And the grading leaves the golf ball sized rocks strewn across the road. The ride was much bumpier and the softer spots had my front sketching out. Glad i put my more tread…

Airline blues
Rode airline. Meh. It is a boring ride. The leaves though did not get totally chewed. The caterpillars 🐛 have already finished and are moths. Sitting on the trees. Making their next year sacs. Seems early for them to be doing this, but sure glad about it. They did not deforest the trees this year,…
Old age and heat
Not ridden since last tuesday. I think i will get up real real early tomorrow and ride. Maybe pachaug or maybe airline. Bugs on pachaug might be deterrent. We see. Had paperwork last wednesday i promised myself to do, then i think it was rain, then the heatwave settled in. Got humid Sunday. No end in…
Owl sighting
On the ride tonight a big ass barn owl swoops down and across the trail. Big one. In Pachaug where i never see wildlife. Pretty friggin awesome. Rides lately have been pretty nice. Extending them a bit so i can get better. I seriously doubt i am going to be able to buy a new…

When i got home i made campground reservations for this weekend. It will rain of course, but i need the silence. Maybe Violet can come camp with me.…
No ride holiday
Memorial day weekend. Drizzle, drunk adult child, caring for grandchildren, and a strange “injury” yesterday. Shoulder was real painful reaching forward. Not sure why, might have slept oddly. This morning at 5 am it seems better, still a twinge. Really tired too from the stress of the drunk. Might do a ride with group tonight.…
Monday funday
Finally rode. Perfect temperature. The trees are almost full leaf. Some may never get there. The caterpillars 🐛 made sure of that. I rode further than previously down the 138 road. But strava went wonky on me. And i could not share it either so gotta go look at that. They may have moves that…
