Todays ride was quite the adventure. Got out a little later than planned due to unexpected work meeting. Was feeling maybe a little tired but needed a change of scenery from the same roads. Decided to go north a bit towards Hacketstown. On the way down the back half of Schooleys Mtn road my Niterider light came off the mount and I thought it snapped. Luckily I was already on the brakes and was able to walk 15-20 feet back up where it fell off and because it was still flashing I found it intact. Rolled down to a safer spot in the shade and used some strips of duct tape that I carry to secure it. Stopped by Marty’s at mile 15 for bio break and water refill. 4 miles later I got a flat cut tire. Again used a piece of duct tape on the inside to boot it and was able to ride additional 20 miles but I did cut the planned loop a little shorter due to the tire issue didn’t want to gamble and have my luck run out. Perfect place to stop and best use of mailbox.
Hence the ride title. Glad I didn’t have to call for sag. Terrific weather just ran out of time.
Tmw will need to be an easy 1 hour ride I’m already on 5days in a row.

I don't think I'll make 31 in a row (I already missed yesterday) but I'm going to try to play along as much as I can, and maximize my mileage for the month. I'll also try to bring back the pre-work rides.
Nothing of note happened on this one, which is the way you want it in the dark. I did see some baby foxes playing in the road. No pics though.

at least you have spare mounts for that niterider (i think i gave you my collection) maybe time to start carrying one in your pocket.

Day 2. Went out for a short loop but it was so pleasant I made it a longer loop.

I went back to Rockhouse Hill to do the remaining portion that Charlie and I didn’t get to. Definite rest day for Charlie he was sleeping all day long while I was working from home. I ran into a NEMBA group of 20 or so strong. Similar to my NJ riding, you can just feel the community and passion on the rides. I’m excited to be a part of that up here.

Had to wait until my wife got home to watch the kids, so half my ride was in the dark. Mostly road with a short detour through Ceres Park. This picture was part of the path the tornado took through Mullica Hill a few years ago. Last year, a lot of the trees in the path looked like something out of a Dr Seuss book. Much like the tall tree to the right, the trees just had random balls of leaves. Pretty cool looking. This year the trees are getting much fuller. Not many Seuss trees left.

Unfortunately the ones you gave me broke after 1 ride the ones I’m using now I got off Amazon and seem to not be as brittle but maybe already failing. The one on the gravel bike has been problem free so it might just be this one is getting wonky.
