This morning I turned around when I came to the sun and just stayed in the woods. this evenings ride I think I can do the whole thing without getting too toasted

Beautiful evening

The woods is maybe 2 miles in each direction, somewhat technical, so a short 4 miler out of the sun. Full ride at 630pm

 

[Green light]

Rode 2 new, yet to be named trails at Gurney South today. That place rocks.

Creek dried up again.

I ran into these guys, maybe mid-late 20s, riding these single wheel electric things. They said they were heading into the woods, I couldn't wait, to see it.

Anyone seen one going over roots and stuff?

Over-paid WFH tech bros inundated my local MTB throughout Covid on these. There is a reason why most people on em wear wrist guards... I'm happy to see the whole thing start to subside but also hate that these tech-toys and subsequent lithium ion batteries are getting used for a couple of months and now piling up like trash in McMansion garages.

Oh yeah, we saw a guy absolutely flying on one of those thingys

The batteries don't last?

I think the batteries last, the novelty and fun maybe not so much? I will admit I am very bias against these kinda things but it just seems like a wasteful use of resource and look pretty silly, at least from the view of someone who enjoys "traditional" board sports.

That’s whack. I can’t believe I just watched a bunch of that. The winner already had a broken arm in a cast
