Dosing myself with an over the counter antiacid which just cleared up my stomach pain. Just so much more happier.
Yesterday AM I drove up to Tie City XG in fog and strong winds. When I drove past the TH parking continuing into the campground to score a site, the lot was packed w/ rigs. The conditions were chilly, foggy, and very windy. At late afternoon return the lot was empty. Today with excellent fall conditions the lot had just a few rigs.
Campsite is in aspens that are turning yellow. The leaves fall off very soon after turning. Today I pulled several leaves of different colors, the ones the most turned all but fell off, the greenest were still firmly attached.
Weather forecast was for upper 60s and strong winds later in the day. I pedaled away about 9:30. My kind of trails with a mix of connector wide smooth tread to tight twisty what’s around that bend, mix in roots and scattered rock gardens narrow ridden in tread. Lip smacking delicious.
Trail intersections were labeled and matched Trailforks which was my navigator. Elevation is 8,500′, highest riding I have done.
The new slightly higher seat height is still the cat’s meow as my pedal stroke is so much more powerful by allowing my legs to extend to just above top dead center so to speak. The previous slightly lower height seemed to make my stroke firing before top dead center like bouncing my knees to my chest.
Stayed here again tonight. $10 for 2 nights of actual FS campground. Slight distraction is the traffic noise from the interstate maybe 1/4 mile thru the trees.
Tomorrow is Curt Gowdy as short drive aways.
