Thursday was this:
People were drinking & dancing at City Hall!
On Friday, nothing really happened besides eating some Vietnamese food at the Vietnam Restaurant. Best bún around!
I also walked home from work in the rain on Friday and considered the necessity of Green Infrastructure in Hartford.
On Saturday, I went to Penwood with my newly rigid Stumpjumper and I found this (which I did not drink, because Mike's Hard Lemonade is nasty, not because I found it in the woods):
And, it caused my rear tire to go flat shortly after I took this picture.
The evening led to some more dancing courtesy of that Bacchanalian HartBeat Ensemble.
On Sunday, I went to Cockaponset and it wasn't all I hope it would be. Most of the trails were kind of overgrown. This description was a little hyperbolic if you ask me.
This above trail was kickass, but I'm not altogether sure if I was allowed to ride on it. There were bike tire tracks, but that's often a meaningless measure of the rules. I apologize if I screwed up and rode on a "no bike" trail. I know you aren't allowed on the blue blaze here, but this was blue & red and I know you were allowed on the red. There weren't any of those CT Forest & Park Association "NO BIKES" diamonds on it, though.
There was also this weird moonscpaed fireroad where it looked like they had done some logging.
I ate this bowl of soup, too:
Next time you ride the Cock (Freudian Slip) you got to try the Epic Trail! Webber Woods to Haddam. I helped map this trail 3 or 4 years ago. The map on my blog gives you a good overview of the entire route. Crankfire has a better rendition of the route (from the same data I uploaded).
ReplyDeleteI thought this blog was about riding bikes? I know - easy target.
ReplyDelete@Mark It'd be 28 for me as I'm one man with one car. When do you want to do the Talcott Mountain singlespeed (or multispeed) epic? I think comes out to almost 30.
ReplyDelete@anonymous we'll ride whatever is around.
