I love how it feels
To be back on two wheels
Though my heart, lungs, and legs won’t stop fighting
But, given a chance
Soon, the weave, hop, and dance,
Roll, rhythm, and rush of the gliding
Discounts discomfort
Delight of dirt comes first
Pain pangs masked by rapture of riding
All I smell are the trees
Hear the brook and the breeze
Watch for rocks and see all my friends biking!
ATA's inaugural Ascutney Trails mountain bike ride of 2021, this Tuesday night from the Ascutney Outdoor Center Trailhead, 449 Ski Tow Rd. in Brownsville. We'll meet at the AOC at 5:45, split into groups according to desired level of challenge, and by 6:00 head out for a guided ride of about 2 hours. If that's too much, this early in the season, there will be opportunities to bail out early. All are welcome. Don't forget your mask for when we can't maintain distance.
