Today's Ride

[Brownski]

@Ripitz Bear Mountain Bridge to Peekskill on 202 is no joke for a fully loaded touring bike, hopefully he had disc brakes.. that section of road bugs me out on an unloaded bike. I'll stand by your route for the scenery though.

A lot of people can5 handle it in a car

Found some hiker trash while riding the rail trail today in Hopewell Junction. This guy is walking the Empire State Trail. He started in Buffalo and he’s finishing in Battery Park. I asked if he had a trail name and he said he was given one while thru-hiking the AT. “Terodactyl is my name because they say I’m old but I can still fly.”

It’s good to be back in the Mojave. I really love Kingman, it’s such a rad off the radar spot right now. I think this is a thing for us trail builders. We are always looking for the “next” best place and prefer things while they stay quiet but we are hopeful that they will gain popularity and then…..it’s on to the next project.
