Time is Flyin' !!

Wow! Last post was before/about BHMTBD, now it's August, the Dog
Days, the Month Before September.......
BHMTBD was a washout, rained like dogs and cats just as we were
setting up the event, combined with depressing forecasts of thunder
and lightning.....it didn't actually get real stormy but the rain did
come down fora while. By 11 am most of the rain had stopped, and I
took a crew of 12 hardy souls up Buck Hill and back. A kids ride went
around the pond, and at least another posse of riders went and made
the best of it. The kids 'rodeo' finally got some use, and the bike
limbo was a hit as usual.
With about 50 registered riders including ride leaders and sweeps, it was the all-time lowest
attendance for the event, which has been known to attract 7-800 people
some years.......
July I don't think I even rode my Ted, but logged some good road
mileage commuting on my old Epic road bike. I saw some trail while
'patrolling' as a seasonal ranger in the BH on my old grey HooKoo
'battleship', or as it was referred to by a friend as my 'tool'.
August is here, and I've been through the Northeast Kingdom twice
without my bike(driving through on the way up to Quebec City and
back), which made me real sad, but after talking with the locals, the
trails are unrideable due to the VERY wet summer they've been having
up there. I saw a river rise ten feet in the three days we were gone,
while we were up in QC enjoying dry (but cold--63F!) weather . I won't
elaborate on that trip only to say that I could not find a bike shop!
