Any Bicyclists in the house? Road? Mountain? Hybrid?

Yeah Squirrels, Deer and Acorns can be deadly right now

I have learned about the acorns. I just started riding and it never even dawned on me an acorn could cause trouble, until it did lol. They also fly out from under the tire with enough speed to take out a passing jogger lol.

Had an acorn drop out of a tree and hit my helmet while moving at a brisk pace....felt like it split my ear drums!!!

Yeah I was coming down from Bull Mt last night on the rigid and went into a few turns all out 2 wheel slide because of the acorns. Should've busted my arse a time or two but got lucky

Just finished 2 miles of hill repeats! Getting stronger.

Just finished 3 miles of hill repeats! Getting stronger.

Good on ya! I have a 1/2 mile hill just down the street from the house. I keep trying to talk myself into repeating it as many times as I can, and I keep riding somewhere else instead.

I just started doing repeats. Started road riding last year and mountain biking about 4 months ago. Mountain biking is making me stronger and road biking helps my stamina. If that makes sense. I tried repeats last year and overdid it. Ruined my whole fall riding season. BTW I am 50 and it takes much longer to recover from over doing it now.

I didn't even know repeats were a thing. I just know when I fall in behind a real rodie over at stone mountain and try to keep pace with him, I get left behind quickly on the bigger hills. I figure I need to work on climbing.

So my trip to Savannah got cancelled because there are no hotels available under 200 a night so I did what any other good sales guy would do I went bike riding.

This is a cool local ride, it's rocky, rooty, washed out and is used by horses more than bikes but I love it. I get to see deer, turkeys, squirrels and eagles all on the same ride.

Start of the ride overlooking the river

One of the many overlooks on the trail

Not as big as the poplar on bear creek but a big tree for metro atlanta

I don't think this is a sorba trail we're on, that looks like it goes down the fall line

Nope definitely not a sorba trail, down the fall line and the leaf blower brigade never comes here.

Down in the bottom

And back to the river

I rode for a couple of hours, don't know how many miles I did, what my average mph was or how many feet of elevation I gained but I had fun and got a good ride in for not being in the mountains.

They're probably too big if you're viewing on a phone
