On Mt. Toby again, this time up South Mt., back via North Mt. And then even did a bit of cleaning of the chain when I got back, very much needed (and does the rest of the bike).

Well, I had such a good time in early afternoon on Mt. Toby -- which I decided to do as a substitute for joining the local O' gang at Earl's Trails -- that I changed my mind and headed off to Earl's Trails anyway. Not to orienteer, but for the expected dinner afterwards. And took my bike to venture out on the trails.
Which was OK, except I didn't heed my own advice, which was to stay on the big trails and off the little winding ones. Because they have been mostly too hard for me in the past.
Funny enough they still are. Lots of places with short but steep ups or downs, with lots of roots and sharp corners and narrow corridors through the trees. Got to be a lot better biker than I am. I figure I got off the bike a dozen times voluntarily and a couple more times that weren't planned. Could have done without the latter, though I don't think any serious damage was done. And perhaps I've learned my lesson.
But the dinner company was excellent -- George and Lyn, Ken, Charlie, Steve R, and Phil. Nice to catch up a bit.
