CRAMBA: Pontiac Lake

[Archangel6]

Qualifier: Are the posted times from the parking lot back to the parking lot or from the trail-head back to the trail-head?

Started my GPS at the very first non-handicapped spot in the parking lot.

^ you're doing fine, good improvement.

I time trailhead to trailhead; if I'm doing >1 lap, I am not going to bother to ride back to the parking lot for posterity or anything.
My best time was trying to keep up with a bunch of guys about 10 years my senior on single speeds, though.

Oh, and i thought i was cooking on my 1:46 lap time.

Great conditions out there tonight. I hope the gentleman with the broken derailleur made it out alright, it was getting dark quick.

Anyone ride this trail today? Looking to head out early Sunday if it is ok.

I'm guessing it'd be fine. Paths that I ended up on in the Pontiac / Rochester area today were just fine.

I did 2 laps today, and the trail was very fine. It was cold, but a couple of other intrepid riders were out too. A few very small wet spots that will be gone by tomorrow. The leaning tree just before the green barricade at Maceday Lake Road finally fell down and is blocking the trail. No other problems.

I laid down a few laps out at Pontiac today. The dirt was absolutely spectacular! Just that one down tree is the only thing to worry about but it's good cyclocross practice. Other than that absolutely perfect conditions I don't think you can ask for much better.

Bag came open and lost tube, tool, and co2 stuff. Please pm if found.
I suspect somebody picked it up.
AlexG - You passed me while I was looking for my stuff.

Been there, done that. Big safety pin thru the 2 zipper tabs is good insurance.

B_b What? I passed you? When? Was that you with your bike upside down and I asked if you were alright? I wish I would have stopped I didn't recognize you man I'm sorry.

I dropped gel out there too. I think one of the runners used it. It was gone the next lap.

[b_b]

No problem. I was going slow looking for my stuff maybe 4 miles in. I went off the trail to the left to let you by. By the time I realized it was you, you were gone. I was on a different bike so you wouldn't have recognized me. Yeah many runners and hikers. I bet one of them has my stuff.

[Alexg]

I remember now. It was just before the trenches. Let me know next time your in my area. Now that the snow is gone I won't be much of a comedy show like I was last time but it would still be good to go out and ride.

Great conditions out there this evening - rode from 6 to 6:54 (my best time yet) and the trail was tacky and fast loved it!
