Riding the Cape

A couple of weeks ago we did a group ride at Otis on the Cape. It was great to get back on the bike! I rode the Niner RIP 9, which was WAY too much bike for the place. Needless to say it's 30# got heavy after about an hour! The trails were great! Frozen ground with no snow and only a few patches of ice. The next day John and I went back to the Trails of Tears. Due to multiple different problems, we arrived without a map for our first ride there. Fortunately, it's relatively easy to navigate as long as you have the sun, the highway, and the sound of the gun club to guide you around. Again, the trails were in great shape, although there was more ice in places that at Otis. We are planning on going back this weekend. I will be bringing a lighter bike though.....
