Prime Fall at Addy

2 loops 14 miles on early Saturday morning. 40 degrees and sun and mostly leaf free dry. Me and a single deer on trail. Bring on the frost rides - prime fat bike season. Ready to drop the PSI!

Big Tuesday Gale’n 5m at Metro

Woo, what a big day that just kept cranking. 11AM Started on the 7m but out at the point the 5m was needed so we switched it up 1PM mid-day to play in the 5-7m curling waves and 40+ SW blasts. Stapped up Jester was perfection for slashing and trenching (and jumping off weeds!). SSW 25-42 is so good with the right gear including warm and dry in the full suit. Lots of people out doing battle but I was comfortable on the 5m when it was going off. Great overall - top 5 waves days ever at MB. Smiles and beers - just needed more sun to last into late day. Legs are fried after all those turns!

MB continues to blow 7m

Got a great almost 2 hours sesh on the 7m again and the Jester. Sun and almost 60 degrees and maybe 5 of us riding. This time WSW 20-30 and waves going right to left meaning we were heading straight out from the beach. Huge slashing and selfie showers of wave spray. Short but excellent uncrowded 7m wind glory.

Saturday is Holly in Fall Classic

56 degrees and sun mostly dry leaves and fast singletrack. Grubers was solid with lots of others out on trail. Throw in west and tech loops for dessert.

MB Pro Pix!

MB late start Gale Sunday

Woo, wind and more wind building to full gale by 4pm. Great day with almost 5 hours on the water. The jester was perfect once I got to it. Weeds don't stop the strapped surfboard. 30-40 people out with 15-40 SSW winds in the sun and touching 60 degrees. Great waves off the point all to myself - high water has made big wind days equal wave days. So far fall sailing has been pretty solid. Let's keep it rolling! 

Back from 4 hours driving we bike to ride at Bloomer

Big South wind fail driving to Caseville in morning so time to ride to Bloomer for a loop with the car full on kite gear. Sun and 55 degrees still all good in shorts and Long sleeve shirt. But Of course their was a race finishing up there when I was on trail. Great fall ride with no leaves down yet?

Get what you can at Lex on a SE

Short and weak 1:15 with 3 hours of driving at LEX SE 10-15 at best. Keith and I only dummies to head out with 50 degree temps and forecast to blow 25 by late afternoon that never arrived. Craig and Tom smart to bail on this sucker deal.

Fall crowds on ride at Island Lake

Lots of people out on this 20 mile Sunday ride - figures at 12:30pm with sun and 60 degrees. Was on the bell for the majority of the almost 2 hours. Cool temps and few leaves down made a great ride while missing the real fun in CV on the water.
