ride report

The ride last night was interesting, since it was about as foggy as Ozzy Osbourne's memory of the late seventies. It was pretty cold too, but as usually the top layer came off as soon as we hit the woods. Must have been at least 4 degrees warmer in there. It was a cloudless night and the stars were out in full force, which always adds a little extra to the experience. Usually when we pulled over for a break, the lights would be turned off and we would watch the stars through the trees. The fog got in the way in the lower parts of the park, but once we made it to the top of Snakes and ladders we enjoyed clear skies. I was happy to have my cheapo halogen light mounted on the handlebars since the foggy parts would render the helmet mounted lights kind of useless. This made some of the descending a bit more demanding than usually and all of a sudden you had to rely on memory along with your eyesight.

A good ride all in all, but Justin took the stunt of the night price with his spectacular up hill endo.

Cowboy Logic of the day:
If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around.
