Riding Again!!!

I hadn't ridden the Fantom 29 since November 02 because of rain, being away for work and last week I was in El Salvador building houses with the Fuller Center for Housing.

So today I hit the trails at Marsh Creek State Park. I rode 13.9 miles and the Fantom 29 performed flawlessly.




I noticed that the fence to the quarry was repaired. Previously a tree had fallen and crashed through this gate. You could easily just walk through the gap that was created.






The lower part of the park at the old railroad bed was still rather soggy.







I took the opportunity to get a few shots of the Fantom 29 by some cabin ruins.

Some interesting Fungi.

Fall is Here

Today I rode 9.8 miles at Marsh Creek State Park. The Fantom 29 performed flawlessly. The weather was nice and sunny with temperatures in the low 40's. The Fall colors are not at its peak in Southeastern PA but they are getting close.
















When I took the trail to the quarry, I noticed the trail was blocked. I don't think anyone intentionally placed the trees there, I think they just fell. I carried the Fantom 29 over the debris. Further on up the trail a mountain biker came from the other direction. First biker I have seen in a while during my Sunday morning rides.
I know I must have passed it many times, but today I noticed a massive rock wall on the side of the old railroad track trail. I am guessing that it was a loading dock for the quarry.

It looks like there will be a race next Sunday. The 4th Annual Mountain Bike Fall Classic I guess I will avoid Marsh Creek next Sunday.

I saw this sign on the old railroad trail near Lydell Road.
