Well I did a nice solo ride at the Lake today, gotta love working for a banking organization (I get all the bank holidays). I had the lake to myself, not a soul in sight, no campers, day trippers, atv's, nothing. Did a couple of the easier trails, and ended up with some of the more hairy drop off sections and down hills. Boy, it is a lot rougher and washed out from last I was there, had to hang on really tight in some sections, pretty much out of control tail wagging stuff. Still the Pamp did its thing and I could climb out most hills in 3rd or 2nd.
And it was great riding weather, in the 60's, no wind, some sun, had a great time warming up for the spodefest.
Derek, I lost your number, so you will have to email me, or give me a call.
