Outta town for the weekend. (In-Laws) Went to a little trail that's usually on the Midwest Fat Tire series tour...though this year it is not on the list. I should have taken this as a sign b/c it's out in the middle of nowhere circling a lake in Crawford county North of a tiny town called Gerard, KS. It's pretty apparent that no maintenance has been done here this year except for maybe 1/2 of a mowing.

Rode with my wife's dad and I got 1 mile in and pinch flatted. Fixed the flat and went about 1 more mile before I decided to ride the pavement around the lake and go home. The place was like riding through a dadgum corn field or something. Knee-high grass full of ticks and poison ivy everywhere. Quite the disappointment.

Ended up riding the SS on about 15mi of gravel road instead. Got bored with that pretty quick and went back to the house and watched NWD9 (my Fathers Day present)
