Man, what a day. The leaves have all changed, wetly falling on the rain-slick babyhead cracked granite. It adds up to zero traction. Fog in the multihued trees was enough to make you totally bliss out.
But with the wet leaves covering all the slimy rocks... well... I pinch flatted once and had to up the PSI considerably. With a hardtail and around 60mm in the front, well, it was like jackhammering your way uphill on skiis through a mushroom rainbow fairytale. Downhill was totally [censored] hairball. Managed to lay off the brakes and keep the bike upright, but I've been farting in a high-pitched whistle the past two days.
Hopefully I'll get back next week for a few pics. Don't be surprised if there's a hobbit sighting if not some bloody gore.

That's a cool place, but kinda short in mileage, don't you think? If you liked that, then you have to go to the northern part of Allamuchy. You'll get 50+ miles of the same thing.

There is some unbelievable riding at Round Valley. Here are some pics of the last time we went there:
Now that's funny. Three photos of trail riding, and a dozen parking lot shots. Carla, you'll have to do better than that to convince me that the riding at Round Valley is all that unbelievable. Or maybe not- I guess you did a great job, now that I think about it. I guess I don't believe that the riding at Round Valley even exists, that's how unbelieving I am.

We were too busy riding the trails to stop and take pics of it...

Been there, done that. Well, part of that, anyway. Like I said, on the hardtail with the PSI jacked, a leaky fork, and no idea where the rocks were under the fresh wet leaves, that short mileage was plenty for me, thanks.

One of my friends has been taking a camera with him when we go riding. Every time he whips it out, I yell at him. "Will you put that thing away... we got some riding to do!"
Never realized what a sacrifice and PIA taking pictures is. Just makes me appreciate you guys that actually do take pictures/video. -- Slacker
