Sat. July 31, Highlands downhill day

Good ride in cloudy 75 degrees and had the place to myself mostly. 3.5 hour ride over 3600' vertical up (chairlift) and down for 15.8 miles. Ran almost all the expert terrain at Highlands but a couple extreme ones (AfterShock), had one minor sand pit fall. 22.5 Max speed and 5 mph average. The speedy part of the day.... that damn Mac Gully chairlift. Loved the Gororoth and Rob's Fun Run. Super fast with the seat down low. This freeride trail stuff is good times.

Sunday July 25, Is. Lake Mud Run

Good ride on a mostly dry but mud puddled singletrack. Island Lake in late afternoon for 12.9 miles in 1:18. Other stats 543 ascent and 510 decent, 9.8 mph average and 20.3 top speed. Sun and 85 lovely degree. Still I'd rather be sailing at Lex today.

Bikemare at Holly. Storm littered singletrack.

1:34 of half of Grubers Grinder = 7.6 miles of hell riding tree damage trail. Never got going and a couple of times I completely lost the trail. Not fun even for a minute. I got out as soon as I hit the escape trail and that had trees down all over it! Worst. Ride. Ever.

Torn Shirt Murray Lake Sunday

Great ride in hot humid conditions on Brighton. 13.01 miles in 1:34. Even played golf after ride at ROGC. Shot a 45 too-not bad for first round of 2010. Now let's get done wind!

Double take at Maybury

Back again. Hot 90+ and humid, but super fast and fun. 13.5 miles 1:24. Gatorade me. Hello early morning rides going forward.

Sat. June 26, Maybury is a great double loop

Had a great ride doing 2 loops at Maybury SP. I can't believe how nice this place is for a 70% downhill and very fast singletrack. Did 14 miles in exactly 1:30. Very nice. I will be back here soon.

Sat. June 19 Torn Shirt Hot Mess

90+ degree afternoon and sand all over the Brighton Torn Shirt trail.
6.5 miles in 51 minutes. Gotta ride the Murray Lake next time and get
here eariler in the day. 6 huge trees down from the storm the night
before - watch out.

Tues. June 16 Metro Anomoly Goes Off

LSCM4

CAN LSC

Great 5M solid caribe like day - felt like we were in Cabarete. Huge W 20-30 winds today - sun and 80's with nothing in the forecast!!! NOAA asleep at the wheel - easily small cap advisory day and it didn't let up as you can see from the charts above... That 11am spike got me out of work and happily so. 5M overpowered Search and the 85 FSW were perfect right up until 5pm when I was completely done (but the wind wasn't!). Alleve Gatorade drinks up next. Special thanks to Chuck for the apres' Blue Moon Beer!

Sat. June 13 Heating Up Tree Farm

10.68 miles in 1:09 of slightly wet Novi Tree Farm. Hot and muggy but
that keeps everyone off the trail. Back next time when it's drier.

Sun., Lexington Dawn Patrol

Good morning atleast of 20-30 North winds if you got to Lex by 8 am.
Craig, Millard and Jab all joined in on the fun but it didn't last
past noon as the sun came out and the winds dropped out. 60 degrees
and a very nice swell much better in fact for the winds with clean
steep curling faces many times. Beautiful morning after nothing as far
as wind goes in the past 3 weeks. Let's go again next weekend - please!
