Media Fridays
We'll post videos or photos that will hopefully inspire trail shredding weekends.
I hit up Fisher Farm yesterday on the Glow Worm. I was in the area, actually right down the street from North Meck, but figured since I haven't ridden Fisher in a while, and North Meck is already singlespeed approved, I'd give FF a try.
Well, the trail must have sensed the strava engines revving up in the parking lot, because a tree "took one for the team" and went down across the trail, hanging about 3 feet high.
Of course I'm not hitting the trail with the sole mission of getting PRs and reaching for a KOM. This is all just a transition leading us here: Angry Hitler
But, even with the obstacle present, and the necessary dismounting and walk around, I was still able to pull PRs for the trail. Maybe my fitness has just been improving since the last time I rode out there in who knows how long... but it seems wherever I ride the Glow Worm I've got a new PR. Coincidence?
Oh, and the bit of random? After my second lap I stopped back at the pterodactyl and as I was leaning the bike against the bike rack the back wheel fell off!! On that lap I had noticed a strange modulation and sound coming from the rear brake - but assumed it was just mud in the pads. Nope, I guess the wheel was loose!! Tightened up the bolts and the wheel was good. I guess I need to keep checking everything to make sure it's snug as I break the Glow Worm in.
Ok, so not super ride inspiring... but if you are local, hit the trails while you can. Looks like more rain this weekend.
