Get Off My Trail
The Ripmo chews threw mud and grit. It also spits it back into your face leaving both rider and bike covered in a gritty paste. It’s a great way to relieve stress and literally connect with nature on this National Stress Awareness day. Also, it’s getting cold. The ride – Providence Canyon
Not real London just Zwift London. I did make it past Buckingham Palace. I waved at the queen. Not the real queen but I imagine the virtual queen in her virtual Zwift Palace cheering all of us on. The ride – Zwift
I’m lazy and I hate pain. It’s really easy to get on the trainer and just spin. There aren’t any bumps, technical bits or core-trashing balance moments like there are in mountain biking.

Sunshine filled days have been rare this October so when they roll around I am compelled to visit the mountains. The air grows ever colder but the trails are as sweet as ever. The ride – Providence Canyon

It wasn’t bad but you have to really
Rain is coming and I missed a lap yesterday. Today I couldn’t bear to part with the mountain and so the Ripmo and I ran an extra lap. Carpe Diem and all that. I might not be able to walk tomorrow but the Ripmo is always ready for one more. The ride – Providence Canyon
With the sun shining and the crisp chill of Fall on the air the Ripmo and I set out seeking the perfect Autumn ride.
