| This also included some portaging and a lunch break with swimming and gummi bear eating!!!! On the Moon River with Slice, Phatty, Hansel, The Bakes, Dog Runner and Bro, La Femme, The Bakes and Mans. Beautiful day on the river, especially once we got away from the motor boats and into the secluded lakes. |

| Out at Albion Hills by myself because I forgot it was Wednesday and missed the Wednesday morning group. It was hot and sunny but nice in the trails - boy are they dry. I was having a great strong ride when I geared down before going up a hill and I guess my chain skipped to the inside of my cassette just as I cranked on the pedal and heard a big crunch. I flipped my bike over to find that I had twisted one of the pulleys off of its bearing or whatever it is on. There was some shredded plastic (or whatever it's made of) and it certainly wasn't going to guide the chain in that state. So I pulled out my trusty multi-tool and pried it back into place. It worked well enough for me to get home (and to hit a few more single-track loops on the way). Next week I will have to remember to meet the Wednesday group, especially since I have heard rumors of a Cougar sighting in the area (maybe it was just a Bobkitten, and we all know how friendly they can be). |

| Trail Running 1:10:00 [3] | |

| With AndyCam and Phatty along a river in Bodiham, England. Felt pretty sluggish but it was great to be out and running around this old, old, old English town. Did some cow patty dodging as we had to run through some farmers fields. And of course we got attacked by stinging nettles! A little sore from all of the Scottish dancing at the wedding the night before - what a blast that is!!! |
