Hey guys...basically a new rider all over again. I used to ride when I was about 13 but then stopped because of partying and smoking cigarettes. I finally quit smoking and am trying to get back in.
My ride: 2010 Jamis Durango 2
Trails: I've been frequenting Six Mile Run and Chimney Rock park. I've also recently went down to Baldplate Mountain and Lewis Morris. My goal is to try as many trails as possible this summer.
My cardio is getting much better (I ride 3-6 times a week)...Chimney Rock's blue trails still kick me in the pants but I'm getting there. I'm trying to hone my balance and braking techniques in.
Side Note: On two of my trips to Six Mile Run, I ran into an older gentleman that does some trail running back there, around 5pm (it would seem.) Not really anything special but on my second time running into him, he got back to the parking lot and was getting ready to leave. As he was leaving, I had just gotten off the phone with my girlfriend, turned on my car and pulled up behind him. He stopped at the head of the parking lot, blocking me in and got out yelling about how I'd been following him for three days and that he had my license plate # and he was going to get to the bottom of this.
First off, I hadn't even been there three days in a row and secondly when I tried to explain I was just bike riding and pointed to my roof rack, he didn't believe me. Has anyone else run into this guy and should I be worried that he is having some kind of Vietnam flashback? He is 6 ft or taller, white hair and always wears dark shades...looks like an ex-marine or something.
Anyway, looking forward to a great summer.
