Mountain Biking (Single Track) 2:17:21 [3] 30.76 km (13.4 kph) +506m
slept:7.25
According to the forecast, this was the last sunny day until the 24 Hours of Summer Solstice mountain bike relay this weekend. Chico (Adam Ruppel) announced this morning that the race course will be closed to pre-riding tomorrow and maybe Friday too. He recommended that people come out today.
I'm not racing this weekend; it's my turn to feed and hug the dogs while 'Bent races. But it's always fun to head to Albion Hills and ride the marked Solstice course since it links trails and trail segments in unusual ways and sends us up some one-way trails backwards, which is normally verboten.
I rode over to Albion Hills and ran into Chico for a chat before heading out onto the course for an easy ride. It's a fun route. By AR standards, the trails are in great shape but compared to my ride there last week, there's a fair bit of mud with a few serious puddles. The northwest section was dry. The wettest part was the quadrant of forest closest to the chalet.
I rode the Start lap (which only one rider per team will do) and missed the markings a couple of times but I'd guess the lap was just under 18 km. Without the Start lap, it will be a little more than 17 km. With all the recent rain, I'd expect a healthy mosquito population, especially around dawn and dusk.
Good luck to everyone who is racing! I'll be over to visit.
