Over did it

March 23rd, 2009

I think I took a little too much advantage of the nice weather we experienced this past weekend in Lower Bucks County: Friday I went rock climbing with my girlfriend at the Doylestown Rock Gym; Saturday I went mountain biking in the morning and afternoon (a total of about 4 hours), did yard work, then went out to Dave & Busters later that night; Sunday I went on Bike King’s Sunday morning ride. With all of that activity, I can honestly say that pretty much every part of my body is sore, especially my arms. It sure beats sitting inside!

Two Parks, One Day

September 21st, 2008

As I was on my way to do my usual Sunday morning ride at Pennypack Park, I decided to try something new; I decided to give the trails at Neshaminy High School a try. I wound up spending about 2 hours getting lost in the trails. Despite a couple of moments where I had to stop, get off the bike, and turn around, I think I finally got a knack on the extensive and technical trail system there. I’ll have to go a couple of more times in the coming weeks to get much more familiar with the trails there, especially since by the time I decided to leave the trails, I didn’t have a sense of actually completing a loop or circuit there.

After Neshaminy, I decided to head on over to Core Creek for a quick little ride, which wound up being about another hour and a half ride. My legs felt great, and I decided to do each loop twice, and then I went back to the technical section with the teeter-totter and the ladder bridges; I still need work on one of them — it’s quite tricky!
