This week’s group ride was at Glacial Park, one of our group’s favorites. Being summertime and all, several of the riders in our group were on vacation, so this was one of the smaller gatherings of the summer. It was a typical hot, muggy August day in Connecticut. In addition to sweating profusely, we also battled swarms of mosquitos that dove in for attack the instant we entered the canopy-shaded woods. But heat, humidity, and biting insects didn’t dampen our spirits. It was a good session.
I love riding trials so much that it's hard to stop once I start. I was able to pull off some pretty cool lines until I literally just could not ride anymore.
Despite the forecast for rain, I needed to get out on my trials bike. The slots in the pallets messed with me in multiple ways. The slippery wood didn't help.
This late winter/early springtime has been giving us plenty of rain and clouds, but we were lucky to have a beautiful (yet windy) day to ride between rainy days.
