This ^^ field is near the end of my ride, down the street from my house. It's astro turf, surrounded by 3 or 4 natural soccer fields. You can see the turf field has lights, it's in use constantly, all summer. I'm a fan.

Took the Car Killer to work everyday this week. Rode to Garrison, LaGrange and Pawling for a total of just over 150 miles. About 20 were on gravel mostly on the Old Albany Post Road. Another 40 were on our new snail trail which is the old Maybrook line. Didn’t ride in a car once. It’s amazing how much you can take in on a bike. I feel great too. Looking forward to longer trips.

Simon, Jordan and I got out for a ride yesterday morning on a sort of mythical, old school ride that a lot of locals here have heard about but have never ridden.

Brown Dot is a line I pieced together some 17 or 18 years ago down a huge lava flow turned into rolling dacite slick rock. It’s a complicated maze of technical steep riding that connects around a thousand vertical feet of slab riding on Mount Eldens southeast facing slopes.

our friend Kevin brought out his drone to document the only descent of this legendary line in the last 15 years. You can literally count the number of people that have ridden this thing in your two hands.

I’m extremely excited to put this edit together as it will have a lot of unseen and undocumented riding in it.

stay tuned for the edit, I’ll definitely post it here once it’s up.

How was the brake fade as you made your way down? Not a whole lotta other ways to scrub speed on slick rock. Reminds me of a line I've hiked multiple time in Hillburn right off the thruway that I am still working up the fortitude to roll down, though I did manage to snowboard the gas easement right next to it a few years back.

Brakes were steaming!

I remember looking at lines like that the last time I was up on Bear Mountain. There’s steep slabs all over those hills along the Hudson.
