It’s amazing the difference properly inflated tires make. Not only was this ride much faster, but I don’t feel like my legs are about to fall off. Bravo for proper bike care.

So I finally got around to switching my saddle and raising the seat post on the Pug and whew, what a difference!! My knees aren’t aching after this ride and although my butts a little sore cause this saddle is harder I don’t have the usual post ride numbness. I know I’m pretty lazy and should have done this weeks, nay, months, ago but better late than never.

Well it rained Wednesday through Friday so the 120 and washing underpasses are flooded again. However trail repair is coming along great (I might even right the 29er next time out) and the fishy smell is mostly gone – at least up to Washington. Progress.

So Washington is open now but Grand is not. I probably could have gotten through as it didn’t seem that deep but the whole trail in that area stinks like rotting vegetation so I decided to cut my losses and turn back. I had the fat tire today but even so trail repair has started which is great. Next ride I’ll probably go south and see if 120 is open and how repairs are going, plus it stinks less 🙂

120 and Washington underpass are still flooded and most of the trail smells like fish or beach or whatever but slowly or surely the trail is drying out. Lots of trail damage as well so even though I rode the 29er today I’ll probably have to switch to the fat tire for the near future until LCFP can fix the trail.

Saw lots of bunnies on the trail today. Almost too many. Makes me think they are up to something!

It was 84* at around 8pm tonight which is awesome for me but I assume uncomfortable for most everyone else. There were lots of mosquitos though which kinda sucked – I kinda assumed it’d be too hot for them. Oh well, I hope this weather lasts!!

Park and trail wasn’t as busy as I expected but that probably has a lot to do with it being a Tuesday. Nice day, a bit muggy but not too bad and not too many bugs. Really enjoyed being back on the 29er, it felt so sleek and tall!! Overall a great ride!
So the trail has dried out a lot, even with the crazy downpour last night and the 1st 21 underpass was open. Yay! I was just gonna check that out but it was such a nice day and the spring blooms smelled so good I ended up riding all the way to Independence Grove. It was a surprisingly easy ride even though I was on the fat tire. I probably would have rode father of sunset wasn’t imminent (I have no lights on this bike yet) and that’s all for the best as I don’t want to over do it and burn out. Â Can’t wait for next ride though!!

The day started off cold but warmed up to almost 70 degrees by the afternoon. Even when I I rode around 5pm it was still about 65 which was very nice. The trail is still flooded but the water is receeding quickly so as long as we don’t get much more rain and it continues to warm up we should be in great shape!
