Tell me where you rode today...

I suppose that was one of the benefits of the 31 Days of July challenge... it gave me a stronger incentive to crawl out of bed at 4AM to get ride in when temps were more reasonable.

My riding buddy called me at 7pm yesterday about riding at Nesh, but I was so not ready to ride there was no way I'd get there in time to get a lap in before dark.

I'll say one thing - when it's this effing hot out, I'm in road/XC race kit... no sweaty as hell baggy shorts...
 
cool stepping stones but i dont recognize them. Isn't that sculpture at 6MR, or just a similar one?
Yes, 6MR. At the 4-way intersection at the south end of the board walk, go east. The trail will lead you to a bridge across a stream and eventually to the day camp. Go straight across the day camp field (be respectful of kids) and pick up the trail again next to the sheds. Cross the Run (using stepping stones) and the trail takes you to the fire cut. Take it north to Red trail (or Orange). Everything maintained and burned in nicely.

Well, started out as a nice ride with no chance of rain for a few hours.

Things turned quickly:

Once I was soaked I figured it couldn't get worse. I was wrong. Rained hard enough to hurt while pedaling down Burnt Mills Rd. Might have been some hail in there. And, then the skies parted as I reached the car.
 
Was all that splatter from that one section of NOX?
That section and upper Eastern Woods that I rode to get to South Park. No rain since Thursday evening but still a lot of of mud and puddles in the usual places on upper Eastern Woods and South Park. More than I expected since Thursday's rain was a single event. Maybe Nox got more. The rest was good. A lot of riders and hikers there today.
