Sunday - 3am - Big steve and I are at the brewery drunk-talking about a ride - he decides Nam and I call his bluff. So Ken (cgm), big steve, rochelle and dave (debut ), meet at my house and then commute to lil vietnam in hopkington MA. Its HOT. who's idea was this? "do you have to drive this far to go riding around here?" - " no there was actually a ride 10 minutes from your house".... Anyway so I lead the adventure up through the first tech. climb (just one dab) to the "main fire road" then to new trails (for everyone but me that is). CGM and steve (on occasion) were behind me follow the leader style over some nice rocks, drops and lunges. Dave and rochelle will fit in just fine! They probably learned some things pretty quick like - Never follow the pukemaster's line, "I know where we are" means I have no f#$%ing clue, "Its pretty much all downhill" - means jon is a habitual liar, shortcut means we just added 1/2 mile and 300 ft of vertical to the ride etc..... So the route was from the fire road though nice technical single track, crossed the power lines (oops), towards highway, lines again - moabesc technicalities, back into woods on yet another nice technical single track where a nemesis hill climb was found (big steve dominated!) - rochelle breaks her seat (yes she weighs 500 lbs) again! too bad PA is taken - quick fix....then to the fire road oops ok now we are on the fire road, no now, no now ok we finally hit the fire road and did the red loop, back to the fire road and dave headed back to the car (hub problems), we did one more small technical loop and headed back to the car. I must say that there was some pretty bad conversation on the trail that may have hit an all time low (YES!) - no need for details but rochelle is? or is on her way to be an OB/GYN. Lets just say we have a deal worked out. Some new trail terms smearing and smudging instead of dabbing?? Over the bars does not count as a dab. Ride home was more bad conversation and blaring music... cgm is now hooked on #6 and #7 (Im sure smack my bitch up is his new favorite song) but wasn't too fond of strange mix #1 (is anyone??). Back to my house for swimming, and gardening (yup). Nice ride 8.5 miles riding 120 + miles driving - PM Does the trumbull group want to go north on wed??? - let me know.
