Days of bike rides after work/dinner are getting shorter very quickly but also very beautiful foliage coming along.

Tonight's ride was a series of obstacles from the flooding. Too many to take pictures of.

Some I tried to fix. This bridge was too heavy for me to lift alone.

After that huge rain, this bridge was set back in position about a week ago. Much appreciated by all in our community I'm sure.:

What I used to do was just ride right into the lip and let the front shock absorb the impact.

Not sure if it's higher or I lost my nerve or what. It looks a bit higher to me and I find myself pulling up on the handle bars, and two times in the last week it didn't end well. Like I ended up in a pile in the "creek" below with my bike on top of me.

WTF.

Today I was going to take a second ride, but instead I grabbed my hand saw and rode out past this point, walked over the bridge, crashing with a saw in hand seemed a bit foolhardy.

My destination was a huge (long) log about 14 inches thick that has been washed onto the trail another 1/4 mile in. Studs were jumping it, I was sneaking around.

I was originally thinking I'd bring the one of the chainsaws home from the cabin and make quick work of it, but I decided to cut by hand. As I suspected it was a bit punky and not too hard to cut by hand.

Hey @jasonwx and @Face4Me did you guys ride?

Go faster and look at the other side. Easy peasy

I rode about 8 miles today was beautiful day for that around Middletown and where I live in Scothtown

Shorter days now require a ride right after work and before dinner. Got 15 miles in last evening while getting the peak leave colors and mild temps. Getting while I can, it wont last long.
