Not sure if the rain was going to hit or not still decided to head to Harbison for the Wednesday ride, but it was a complete no show for anybody else last night. The lot was pretty empty and didnt even run into any of the Cycle Center guys. Ended up a solo journey but atleast the weather ended up being more pleasant to ride in than I have had in quite awhile. Guess the nearby storms cooled it down and kept a steady breeze all evening and never ran into a drop out there. While it wasnt any hammer down ride I still managed to get in a 22 mile ride on just a half pack of hydration. Lately the heat/humidity had been taking a toll on me and I had resorted to taking some electrolyte tablets and hitting the refill station just to make it easier (atleast psycologicly).
Saw one big black snake crossing the stewardship trail that luckily for me was just far enough ahead that half of it cleared the trail just in time for me to get by without having to run it over or anything. It was a good size one and glad I didnt have to deal with any outcome that may have resulted.
In hindsight I think I may have faired better with the snake though. Somewhere on firebreak I recalled something flew up and was bouncing around on my feet and legs. At the time I just thought I somehow got some kicked up branch or pine cone. Thing was whatever it was it caught my attention because somehow it lingered just long enought that I was like wow, whatever that was it bobled around enough that I thought of how you would juggle a soccer ball around on your knees and feet to see how long you could keep it going. Well, when I finally got back to my truck and stopped all I could smell was shit. I was like what the hell! Then the disgust came instantly on, sure enough that was a pile of shit strung together with pinestraw. I kid you not there was a freakin loaf still intact and full sitting dead ontop of my shock. The rest of it what was left was all over my tires, frame and legs -- DAMMN . Anyway grabbed the nearest stick and and started getting what I could off. Also, for those with young kids, I was also very glad I keep a pack of baby wipes in the truck and damn near emptied the pack doing cleanup. Guess the rule of taking out what you bring in doesnt apply to the dogs, ... to bad.

Back in the Saddle
Back from vacation I was aching to get back on the trails so headed out Thursday night for a slow ride after being off the bike a week. Boy what just a week off will do, ended up doing about 22 miles but it felt like 30 and felt it all Friday.
Our next vacation I sure would like to take the bike to hit some trails somewhere. For financial reasons we opted to do the drive vs airlines and heading up thru the Virginia/West Virginia mountains I saw a couple of guys with some Azonic Downhill bikes and camping gear that looked like they were gonna be having loads of fun. I can only imagine how you really would need to have downhill bikes to conquer those decents off road, looked like there could be some really knarly shoots to let'r rip on and the climbs even if I had a 20lb bike would be beyond my grasps.
But seeing all that wide open mountains sure does get you daydreaming about how it would be cool to take some sort of long weekend or vacation and do a wilderness adventure with just the bikes and packs.
Hit harbison this morning still feeling a little tight from Thursday and didnt know how it would fair out but once I got moving dont think it had any adverse effect at all execpt towards the end of my ride when I wussed out and stopped short of 30 again. I was able to set a new time trial record on Lost Creek this morning and beat my previous 32.12 by a minute for 31.11 with avg speed of 11.0. I know it aint no call the neighbors news or anything but its a step in the right direction :). With my rookie seaon coming to a close next month Im setting my second year goal to get this sucker down to atleast 30.0 minutes - I think I can , I think I can..
If anyone is doing the Fontana Race today/tomorrow good luck, I know Harry was going but didnt know if anyone else was heading up.

Tubes - Not the wheel kind
Today my daughter had to have her ear tubes put in. We had to be at the hospital at 6:45 AM for the surgery that they put her to sleep to install. Goes without saying that we were a nervous reck this morning, just the thought of having to operate on a little baby (15 months old) let alone your own is quite upsetting. We were having last minute second thoughts on the ordeal as for once she wasnt even sick now so it was like we are going to let them put her to sleep and go thru with this and she feels fine. But on the other hand she literaly gets an ear infection every 3 weeks on average ever since last October so we knew we better just go on and get this over with. Well, the doctors at Providence Northeast were great and did everything well to make the most of the experience. Cant believe how quick the whole thing took and we were in and out by 9:00 AM. For the babies, they dont use any IV or anything and they knock them out with gas, so atleast she wasnt poked and proded while she was awake any and that was nice. The doctor also made us feel good about the choice when he said she had gobs of jelly like substance behind her eardrums instead of just fluid and he had to use a special instrument to remove. I know this is Nasty, but he said that stuff had to have been built up back there for a long time and she definately is much better off and should also show a night and day difference in her hearing. Its amazing how quick after the whole thing she is back to normal, the doctor said it would be about an hour for the antethisia to wear off but she should be fine after 10. Darn if he wasnt spot on, now she was extremely upset and crying the entire time after she came too up until the ride home when she fell back asleep, but boy it was like a light switch and she was fine and back to herself after getting some brunch. The rest of the day she was playful as ever, glad that is over.
Since the baby was doing great I ended up taking a late afternoon ride to clear the mind and glad I did. Ended up being a good ride and mixing it up to hit all the trails including inner loop. Ran out of water and had to hit the filling station for a refill but was feeling ok and planned on pushing on to make it a 30 mile ride. Late in my ride I ran into Tom, Dennis and Eric who were just finishing up with Lost Creek and gave me an invite to ride with them. Didnt know how long I was going to be able to keep going but was good to talk with Tom who I hadnt seen all summer. Followed along with them for just a short way down Stewardship to the long fireroad climb but by then the legs were pushing their limits and told them I better brake off and start heading back. Gonna have to try and make another ride with them on a fresh start when I can hang and not have to ditch out but did enjoy the short bout anyway. Ended up taking the longer way back over the gazeebo area back across firebreak and crooked pine to finish at 30.91 miles.
Dont think I'll be making a group ride for a week, were going on vacation this weekend and since I rode tonight were gonna be trying to get some things done the remainder of this week, you guys tear it up and hopefully nobody feels the need to bushwack or crash once for me :)

Saturday Struggle
Tonya had some errands to run this morning so I didnt make it out to the trail until around 11:30 ish and should of known this was the wrong time to start a ride going in. It was hot and humid but figured Id try to get some miles in anyways. Ran into Harry in the lot that was finishing up with this weekends Friends of the Forest group trail maintanance and was about to start riding too so we decided to ride together. He had been out there all morning opening up that new section of trail leading away from the lot. I wasnt feeling any need to get out any hammer myself and really wanted to do a controlled ride over speed anyway. He also said they had been checking out the downhill section of stewadship and seem to be leaning on keeping it open if they can maybe just putting some whoopty do's in to force slow downs rather than cutting a whole new section of trail that is pretty much the same slopes and terrain to work with. We will see though, they still have to present their case to the forestry board which is concious of the safety issues that section presents.
That new section of trail they just opened at the front lot flows pretty good, it was like riding thru baby powder though but once it starts to harden up it oughta be really nice. I think it is a big improvement over what we were riding thru and definately adds some nice flow thru that front section now.
We ended up doing a variety of routes today including the spiderwoman inner loop to finish up with a Lost Creek counter clockwise run. On Lost Creek Harry hit something and tore his rear tire sidewall and started spewing air. We looked but darn if we could ever see what the heck it was (we ruled it hitting some small stick just perfect, there was nothing else around?). After a quick tire patch we were off but really feeling the heat by now and the last half of lost creek was a pure struggle for me. We both ran out of hydration and were set on getting back to the lot for some liquids. Bringing out anything close to an aggressive ride wasnt even a thought that crossed my mind and I just did what I could to keeper rolling. Funny how these things work, some days you can go strong others you just dont have it, this was definately the latter.
I did end up getting a good idea from Harry on fixing the broken visor instead of the tape I had riged up. Hit the parts store and got me some velcro strips and I'm gonna give that a shot. Big improvement over the tacky factor.

Whipped by Crooked Pine :(
Before I get into my rounds with Crooked Pine overall ride was a good steady pace up until the storms came in. Joe, Barret(still on the spelling?), Harry and I were the only ones around at 6 but Harry said a couple other Cycle Center riders were coming out around 6:30 so we decided to do a quick warmup and circle back to the lot and pick up any late comers. After everyone showed we had a group of 7 although we were all scattered out and not really riding in a full pack for alot of the ride. Me and Barret pretty much stayed together but the rest were in a couple other packs. We didnt do spider woman tonight and that helped me log a faster average than usual but I really need to work on getting the average up with spidey included.
On to my bought with Crooked Pine. I basicly took a cut'n on this one tonight fella's. Its humiliating I know and wish I could be saying I took the lick'n on spider woman or something but it is what it is.
Round 1: This was supposed to be our warmup now before circling back to the lot. Were doing Crooked Pine from the fire road entrance side and somewhere before you get to the first bridge I hit some limb,branch or I dont know what. I didnt even see it coming till a millisecond before the hit and then it was just a blur but this smacked me on the head, nocked off my glasses and helmet. I just saw a quick flash then scrambled to keep from going down while trying to get my gear back on and straight. But, it did NOT take me down , so Im good im thinking , just a little shaken and surprised where the heck this came from and just slowed pace long enough to regain my bearings and all. Unfortunately though this was making my eyes burn from sweat or something and the rest of the ride my eyes stayed watering and burned. Round 1 goes to Crooked Pine.
Round 2: On our outer loop ride heading the clouds were moving in and it was getting really dark out there in sections under the canopy, then up the midlands switchbacks its starts storming and raining pretty good, well at the top Barret and I decided we werent gonna continue on the full outer loop in this rain and lightening and made a b-line right to head back on Midlands to firebreak. Then we thought we'd take the short cut thru crooked pine one more time in an attempt to get to the lot the quickest route. by this time it was raining and lightning pretty good and my visability was beyond bad between the watering/burning eyes, darkness setting in and the raini hitting the glasses. I'll be darn if it wasnt around the same spot as the first round incident around one of the turns I barely saw one of those vines that do a sidewase U loop hanging out just a little to much but I wasnt able to avoid it and sure enough this thing was right at head height and it looped me right around the neck. Now I wasnt blazing or anything but I had some speed so Im locking my chin low to keep from getting strangled or anything. The way it had me I new there was no way of twisting loose so once I felt it away from under my neck I put everything I had to try and ride thru it hoping it would rip the vine out or something. After about 5 feet it didnt give anymore and took me down off in the bushes in what must of been a sight. That was a sensation I hope not to repeat. Stunned I just laid there in the brush with this vine wrapped around me then heard Barret checking if I was alright and the lightening popping around and just thought I better get off this ground before one of those strike something close to us. The lightening was close, one popped while we were there and startled Barret enough he dropped his bike right out of his hands. Anyway, Round two definately went to Crooked pine too. But, I did take time to curse and move that vine well off the path for any other riders or my next time :).

Saturday Ride - New HR Max
Anybody up for a Saturday morning Harbison ride tomorrow? Was going to try and hit the trails by 8:30 and aim for 30+ miles.
Update:
Good ride today, ran into Harry in the lot when I pulled in who was just out for a ride himself and Monty ended up being able to make it. In hindsight should of known we were in for a ride when he pulled out the RacerX instead of the SS. The 3 of us started out far from a warm up pace and quickly realized this wasnt gonna be any easy cruising today. This quickly turned into a grueling struggle to try and keep him in sight which after just a short pace into Lost Creek ended in a loosing battle, so I had to set a new mark on trying to keep pace/view with Harry.
It was a quick pace thru the outer loop and spider woman with inner and after spider woman the heat, legs and pace was telling us this was gonna be a rough one to pull out the 30+ goal. We took a breather exiting spider woman for some gel shots and think both Monty and Harry were about out of water here so we set aim to finish the complete outer loop and hit the water station before we start dehydrating. After cresting midlands mountain I didnt see either one of them the rest of the ride back to the lot, I can only imagine how hard they were pushing it. Back at the filling station we all had to refill with some water (this was the first I had almost completely drained my pack which was somewhere between 70-100oz).
Back at the lot we had to take a refuel break and eat a hammer bar and Monty gave me a couple hammer electrolytes or something to the like to help finish out the day. What were those, Im gonna have to get some of those as they did prevent me from any cramping and kept me going.
Monty had other things he had to do and so after the refueling break Harry and I headed out for one more outer loop to try and get some miles in. We made a pack that it would NOT be at the same feaverish pace, the heat and humidity was beyond taking a toll. When we finished the reverse outerloop we were still just around 28 miles and this just wasnt going to do. Darn it, we felt like we earned a 30 mile mark today so we headed down the dirt road and around the ranger station just to get us there. Still ended up 0.03 hundredths short, but hey, Im calling it 30 mile day anyway.
On the spiderwoman inner loop I also noticed I hit a new max heartrate of 190. It may have not been the ultimate climb/sprint option , but since this was the highest Ive seen yet Im plugging this into the monitor now. I know after cresting that inner hill that set this new high I was feeling like I had no more to give and even coasted down the descent still in granny not enough energy to make a shift fearing it would only result in having to drop it down again on the slightest whooptyDo.

Wednesday Pinch Flat
It was a groupless ride tonight, this was the first time I had been out that I didnt see anyone of the usuals. We did have one of the cycle center guys show up that had caught wind that we have a good ride going and I told him he must of jinxed it cuz this was a first not seeing any of the other fella's out here. It was Harry the guy that smoked the 50+ age group along with most of the younger sport classes too at the RTR. At the race I was ontop of the midlands switchback climb, saw him down below crossing the bridge right before the climbs and he still blew by me to hit spider woman first so I knew he better lead this one tonight. It was just the two of us tonight and we did the full outerloop with Lost Creek and spider woman (no inner) but on the way back to the lot he took us thru Crooked Pine back thru the switchbacks and a new fireroad climb I dont think I've climbed up before.
On Lost Creek about middle way where you shoot down a rooty drop then have a quick up against a root section (where Jason, Tim and I saw that family stopped that day) I had my first pinch flat. My front tire hit that root pretty good and I must of had my weight forward cuz as soon as I crested and turned it just made a loud woosh sound and went instantly flat. This was a weird pinch flat as it was closer to the backside of the tube and only one spot but it was definatley a gashed open. Talk about breaking pace of a ride, I told Harry he could go on so he doesnt fall out of groove but he hung back and helped too. I thought I was set carrying my pump with me but after about 5 minutes of having no luck getting it to work ended up putting a single can of CO2 in there and took what I could get out of it. Guess I'll need to get a reliable working pump now and have been carrying this heavy piece of junk for nothing.
Overall a good paced ride tonight and Im getting a little more comfortable in my new Bontrager rear tire and its unmistakenly a noticeable improvement in rolling resistance over the excavator. Real glad I swapped this out for the dry season and Im definately gonna get an easier rolling front.
