    If you drive 50 miles, you can spend the night! :) My bachelor parties have dudes in the guest room.

    I wanna ride every day M-F. Some days I can do AM, some days mid-day, but I guarantee no crowds after 7pm.

    Ho man! It’s gonna be like 2013 all over again!

    Is this trail invite twice as good it deserves two trail invites?

    Marshall to Potato Mountain. 21/3,450’
    3B83D71C-E0CD-4AA2-8493-66B66E8D599E.jpeg Turned a corner climbing and saw a bear skedaddle up a slope. I spent the rest of my climb randomly yelping and singing. On the DH an hour or so later about 50 feet in front of me a mountain lion was trotting away from me down the trail. Big tail. Big cat. I slammed brakes and yelped at it all the Pritsies I could muster. I walked backwards to a fork and took another route to a road and re-entered the Canyon a few miles down the trail. Freakin’ spooked tonight and afraid to ride solo out there. Oh, and the nasty, hairy, pulsating orb weaver spiders in the middle of the trail right at face level are the worst of all. What a night!

    Yeah - no... Good for you for your dedication to get the riding in despite the critters and other challenges of riding at night. Stay safe, please.

    Thinking back to some of my solo adventures, I've been quite the knucklehead. I don't know how I'm going to recover.

    Two 800 Niteriders on the bars and a 950 Niterider on the helmet. The bear was seen in twilight, but I kept one bar light on low for the rest of the climb after that. The DH was with all three on high.

    My throat hurts from all the hollering.

    Today I'm going to stay in and clean the house, so if anyone wants to join the buffet tomorrow, lemme know.

    I’ll be a bachelor for several days starting Monday afternoon. I’m looking for some mild MTB company. I can do day or night all week but would have to plan around my conference calls, so throw out some dates/times if you dare.

    A jaunt to Potato Mountain or up and back Monroe Truck Trail…I’m not looking for anything technical right now, and the pace will be sluggish. If you are interesting some interval training, join me, climb to the summit, turn around and ride a circle around me, talk some smack, and see how many intervals you can do before I make it to Potato or GMR.
