San Felasco, last FL ride

Wrestled w/ Mc Afee late last night attempting to kill the virus. Feedback: is it still there?

No heat, inside temp was 51, no idea what was outside.

Got underway w/ no bfast to get out of parking lot. San Felasco TH was just a short distance. $2.00 entry fee. Area shared by horse riders w/ single use trails. First rig in either lot then the dam broke, almost more rigs for horses than bikes, certainly more $ in their rigs than old rigs sporting good bikes.

Changed cluster & chain. rear brake level is just about right although it was adjusted too high and too tight to manually lower. I rode back to van for Torx to correct adjustment. Also I put on new Formula pads hoping the harmonic noise would cease. Later even readjusted calipers and still random frequency noise.

Local rider talked to me before starting. Trail system has grown considerably than the reviewers quantity of 3 trails. Took off again and just wandered down trails. Rode over land & trail were horribly torn up by wild pigs rooting for food. They leave the trails alone because they are hard packed. All hand built trails. Some were guilty of too sharp a turn around a tree: going to create brake bumps going into corner.

Pig damage:

wild pigs rooted up ground either side of trail
wild pigs rooted up ground either side of trail

Left bar end hooked a small tree which pulled the handle bars from my hands dumping me out over the bar tumble.

Wild N FL woods:

Amazing: 22.5 miles in 2hrs 50 mins for 1566′ vert in flat FL. Burned 2079 calories. Warm day.

Part of preserve had been controlled burn.

Got back on interstate heading North. Saw a sign for XGs, 3 all @ same exit. I figured that I could buy a shower at at least one of them. Scored @ the first one. Charged $5.45: sales tax.

Exited @ Tifton & found a drive up bank parking lot. Light rain.

Tomorrow is Dausett & then maybe back to FATS.
