Today WE RIDE!!!

Yup, actually did! Not terribly far, only about 9 point some miles, but it was enough to make my wrist hurt. Hopefully we can ride again tomorrow. I think so, tomorrow’s is a kiddie trail.

Here are some photos:

This was all the way up the road, where the jEM trail intersected with it. We had just come up the JEM trail – NOT the recommended riding direction, though it IS bidirectional. Riding up took a while, hopefully the ride back will be much quicker.

This is some of the scenery out there:

The return was MUCH faster – by how much I’ll find out later when I run the GPS track. This is the bike at the parking lot after the JEM trail:

She’s got  REAL dirt on her now! Second ride! This ride also finally puts us below $1K per mile – woohoo!

Here are a few more photos, taken from my video of the trail – those of you who know me even fairly well know I’m scared shitless of heights. I think I did pretty well to ride these sections:

And the WiFi at this KoA … SUCKS. One of the worst. Good news (if you can call it that) is that at least the lady told us it probably would not work. And she’s right. And I found out what is probably most of the problem – they’re using 802.11b!!! This is technology from 1999!!! And it pretty much only worked for a half-dozen folks, and here they have 100 sites!! Jeez, folks, at the very least bump it up to 802.11g, though preferably 802.11n! The stuff is pretty cheap these days! In other words, updates will be when I can get into town to use my hotspot, which also doesn’t work way out where the KoA is.
