On Saturday, DH and I took a road trip with some teammates to Patapsco State Park and Rockburn Bike Skills Park near Baltimore, MD. We had a great time! Patapsco is considerably more technical than my local trails, so I walked a number of sections, but it also challenged me to ride stuff that I wouldn't normally try.
I'm looking forward to going back sometime soon.
We held our annual 'Turkey Trot' on Saturday and had a great time. The original route was above the snow line this year, so we opted to change it a bit which included a bit more techincal terrain and some dirt roads, but a great group showed up and it was a blast!
It sounds like there was some nice riding this weekendI look forward to reading about everyone's autumn trail adventures - if I can't actually hit the trails then I can live vicariously through you

Went Yesterday to Ft Ben trails...had a blast with a few good people. We did the 3 trails...9 miles total I believe. Lots of long climbs,obstacles and garden rocks etc. Even though I wasn't feeling good at times I had a ball and didn't crashed once and I am surprised about that!!. Definitely will be returning soon. Everyone said that this trail is kind of like a mini Brown County.

We went to a local park today and did 8 miles in 70-degree temps(!). The last time I was there was ~2008 and I had a horrible time, so today's fantastic ride was especially satisfying. I've gotten a lot better at logovers, rocks, and descents since then. It just feels good.
