Today's Ride

Wasn't feeling 100% but a slight bit of evening sunshine after 3 days of torrential downpours was enough to tempt me :)

Spent a couple of hours biking around on Monolith, taking pictures of statues. And trees. And pylons. Because reasons. Inadvertently found the deepest rutted trail of my life. Many of the trails around here are cut by 4 wheeled ATVs. It's a double edged sword, I get miles and miles of double track, but in the muddy and softer areas, the erosion is killer!

Forget about pedal strikes, this one is almost above the 26" tire! IMG_20241011_134222838.jpg
Here, you can see that the bottom of the 4 wheeler dragged and scraped the center area smooth, and some brave soul rode a bike right down the middle! Not me, I walked around.

I don't even know how it is possible, the whole bike is in there, up to the stem! Here's a shot of me standing above it for reference. IMG_20241011_133351369.jpg
