7/1 Saturday Ride

Theoretically, we have a dry day tomorrow, so let's go ahead with Roads Less Traveled (53 miles) or its shortcut (35-40, depending) from last weekend since we didn't actually do it. We should stay in the mid-60s, so it should be a pleasant day.

See you at 8:00.

6/24 Saturday Ride

Tut, tut—it looks like rain... again.


Well, I have no idea what to think. I was going to suggest a visit out to Roads Less Traveled, but the threat of rain seems highest between 9:30-11:00. I'll post for the long ride (53 miles) and a shortcut (36-40, depending on if you go up to Pinelands) so there's a shorter loop for those who wish, and which we can cut even shorter if we get rain when we get out there (at least there's a dry place to wait for a ride, if needed). Fair warning: if it's raining when I wake up, I'm rolling over.

6/17 Rainy Morning Ride

It is, sadly, looking like another Zwift day, friends, and I'm not sure Father's Day will be much better. I think we'll have to wait for Monday night. 😕

Sunday Morning Ride =UPDATE=

I'm tired of the rain. I'm tired of the threat of rain. I'm tired of every weather model being wrong. I don't know about you, but I'm 0-4 on guessing the weather this week. Therefore, I'm riding Sunday, since that's the only day in 10 without a chance of rain, and I'm taking the pup into the woods on Saturday to give her and the 29er a little fun. If Saturday's your day, you do you, but I'm going with 100% dry.

We'll try the visit out to Salmon Falls that we missed last weekend. If you need a shorter course, there's a 36-mile shortcut over Mitchell Hill, and a little something in between. See you at 8:00.



The climatic low that’s pushing the Canadian fires’ smoke west and south (sorry, New York) is keeping us clear but wet, but that may lift by Sunday. Personally, I would really hate to come home cold and soaked from a rainy Saturday ride instead of enjoying a beautiful sunny Sunday, so I’m willing to be flexible. Let’s keep an eye on how the weather develops and pick the right day on Friday. We’ll likely do last week’s unridden course. Stay tuned…
