I've not done much up here either, but I just had a very nice ride up at T.K. Lawless on Sunday. The trails are in pretty good shape. Some roots on the climbs, but that's not unusual. There were a couple of damp spots, but nothing that got me dirty. It was a very windy day, so I was happy to be in the woods, rather than out on the road suffering with winds.

Unfortunately, I got there only once last year - http://bikingbloom.wordpress.com/2007/07/24/off-road-riding-in-brown-county-state-park/. I hope to get there soon. It's good to know that that the trails are fine to ride relatively soon after a rain. It's not so in Wapehani. I agree about Brown County.

It's probably the best in the state, and one of the best in the Midwest! It isn't good to use it in the rain or shortly after a hard rain.

I noticed a couple during the ride and thought they were things only I did. Unfortunately, I don't remember all. One I remember - the use of bandanas. At the stops, multiple bandanas came out to clean glasses, dry foreheads, etc. It was a nice ride.

They might be generational things." What things? Sounds like a nice ride.... So I’m curious what do you mean by: “Also, I observed some things that others did that I thought were my personal quirks.

Last week, I commuted only one day because of travel and other commitments. Last Sunday, I rode 26 miles at 16 mph. I pushed a little on a series of 3 local loops - Old 446, Water Works, Clear Creek. I tried to stay within 130 - 145 bpm on my HRM. It was a nice morning and I think I will call it my June Day. [...] [...] Actually not much to report about other rides.
