Event: CNYO ROGAINE XV
 

CNYO 6 hr. with Ann Leonard. 2nd overall behind an all male team. Good strategy, good route choice, a couple not so brilliant moments when we didn't pay attention maybe losing 15-20 minutes each time. Even jogged some downhills during the last hour. Knee brace "malfunctioned" after about 3 hours - the hinge is probably worn and it would lock about 30 degrees back from straight every 15-20 minutes and the only way to get it working again was to take it off and fiddle with the hinge.

Inspired by the comments of those who did the AR here this weekend, I finally got my bike out and went for a ride. Headed toward the city on the drive and then took the trails home. The set of trails I was on was probably the easiest loop on the hills that I know of but it was still steep in places and plenty rocky. But they've done quite a bit of trail maintenance in the last year and so it was easier than a year ago. Or else I've somehow miraculously improved boatloads. Nah. I am a big time wuss on the down hills though!

After waiting at home all day for a repairman that never came, finally got out for a slog along the drive - only did 2.5 and then walked home the long way on the trails. Glad I did since I met a mountain biker who lives on my street and he told me about a group that meets weekly to ride the trails in the Wissahickon. Might give that a try.
