Seeing as how I didn't post these pictures last year, I thought this would be a good time to put them up. this ride I did last May 18 and it is the ride I hope to do this weekend, exactly a year later.

The ride starts with a gently climb through farmland:

A trail connects two roads. This is a dry part, but there were some nice mudholes:

Looking back at a grueling climb:

Looking forward to another connecting trail. It's a steep climb followed by a fun downhill:

I hope the weather cooperates this weekend.

Hey! I love this concept: posting pictures of rides before your ride them. Here's a picture of a century I'm doing on May 23rd.

Looks like it's going to be a great ride. They're calling for good weather here on Fri. Sat. & Sun. so it looks like your ride should be dry.
