Here's another one I forgot to post, race fans!

The grass is getting high out there, yo!

From the looks of the GPS trakc this was the one where me and XX were gonna meet on Nacho, but I took Boardwalk while he was on the regular trail and we missed each other.  Thank goodness for cell phones.

Can't remember how many laps around RBB that was.  Looks like 5 or 6 from the track on the map;-)

Rode this stretch with Ben and a group from his cub scout pack at last weekends Fort Frederick Camping Trip.  Smooth as silk crushed gravel path without any features to roost on.  Boring riding but fun hanging with the kids and waving to the bike packers.

Conditions were good but muddy in the usual holes.  Worse than Wednesday in some spots.

It was already freakin' light out at 5:30 when I woke.  46 degrees on the Oregon Scientific meant shorts were OK, but kneesocks and a skull cap were in order.

Met XX and Baler at the usual spot.  

Also ran into Deez at the trail head.  She was asking about you.  No, really.  Deez.  You remember Deez, don't you?

Media_httpwwwcustomcu_ntueg

Joe was there too.

Trails got a B+.  Some puddles and greasy spots still.

I would have given them a flat B, but they got the + cause none of us vocalized that they were bad whilst riding.

Clockwise loop with a Steepy Bathrooms drop to mix things up.
Afterward me and XX checked out the Rockburn Skills Park progress.  "Is it coming along nicley?", you ask.
Media_httpwwwfixedgea_gsqua
Here's some shotz of the progress....

And for all you GPS nerdz, here's a shoot out between the Garmin Edge 205 and the Garmin Fit App for Android.

NOTES:  
  • I expected more distance  on the Android because I parked the bike and walked around for a while at the skills park.  
  • I expected more time on the Android because it does elapsed time and Edge does moivng time.
  • I expected lower avg speed on Android becuase it puts elapse time in denominator and Edge uses moving time.
  • But I didn't expect a difference of 300ft in Elevation Gain???  Maybe 50, but not 300.
