Southern unit of the Kettle Moraine Stae Forest.
Another shot at November Glory.
Things weren’t nearly as wet inland as compared to around here on Sunday. GNic officially gained Ghanstar status per Jonzerelly just for a mere appearance. And that was before he was even clipped into his first pedal. Weather conditions were overcast, very windy, and roughly 40 degrees. Longies, boots, and windproofing were the uniform of the day.
I’ve learned that the hotline for the Muir (262-594-6202) probably isn’t updated as often as it should be on weekends. Things were a little greasy on the Muir so we opted for the fast route out to the connector. That’s too bad cause I was looking forward to getting a crack at the new berms that are getting built up on the Blue Loop. It’s probably in a section called the squirrel zippered double back snaked ladder pass gorge but I usually refer to that sections merely as JayTeeh’s Yardsale. Ah well maybe next time we’ll get to bomb em.
The connector and the back half of the Emma were dry as a bone and in good shape.
I saw some more hunters again out on the trails on mountain-bikes and in athletic clothing. The only thing was was that they weren’t carrying any rifles or visible weapons, unless they planned on holding their prey down while they try to drown it with the 70 ounces of fluid from their camelbacks or maybe they were even considering using their orange safety vests to lure a deer into a bullfight type situation and then stabbing them (the deer not the safety vest clad bikers) with a sharpened tire lever. Either way it seemed like a strange way to hunt but what do I know. You know you’d think that fellow bikers would be a little more friendly after you wish them a “Happy Hunting” salutations as you pass by.
It made for 2 1/2 hours worth of riding without any mishaps. The steel fork held up well and more importantly I managed to keep my killer new Disco O Fleas round and true, which is no small feet considering my bad taste in lines and big taste for Thanksgiving fixings this year. The Black Jabber was perfect and lives to race up hills. The steel fork set up makes it pretty light and nimble all while the Answer Carbon Pro Taper bars helps to keep my fillings in tact.
All in all it was a good call and not a bad way to spend a cloudy Sunday.
