Slow afternoon, everyone must be thinking up ways to beat the new anti-shift rules instituted by MLB this year.

a few times I brought a plastic bag and place the shed layer / shell in the bag and would tie it to a tree branch or whatever ... then later retrieve the bag / clothing
obviously that can be a PITA ... requires a drive back to the area ... and might not be there when you return (***)

I sweat a lot when I climb, regardless of the weather. Like a lot. Like one friend said they have to mop the street after I ride by so other cyclists don't slip in it.
I also like to be able to carry any layer I have which generally means back pockets. When on the mtb I normally have a large Camebak which will hold a big jacket if needed.

Unintentional rain ride this morning. I thought I had a window where it would be dry, but halfway in - after being delayed by a flat - the rain started. I was with a group where I was the weakest rider, but the pace was steady and civil, and I had zero issues staying with the group. I was dressed warmly enough, but really disliked being wet. I survived, but don’t want to do that again any time soon.

MTB ride in Pisgah NF today.
Overall I had a good time, but the trails out there are a bit rougher and more technical than my skill set allows. I can enjoy some challenging features but when the penalty for messing up involves slamming down on rocks it just becomes more stressful than enjoyable.
I did end up going over the bars at one point, thankfully landing on dirt. As I was on my way to the ground the only thought in my mind was “I’m so glad I’m wearing a helmet”
Not looking forward to how sore I will be tomorrow.
Absolutely beautiful day though.

Happened to me at my final half-iron. Just in time for the run to be savage.
