Just got back from Graham hills, just in time when the rain starts coming down. The trail was in perfect shapes and AkaGc and I managed to do two quick laps. Good job AkaGc! Note: Viking, AkaGc saw your message in FB so when we finished the first lap I asked him if he's down for another lap, he said YES. He pushed himself not to DNF this time on our training session. ;D ;D ;D AkaGc trying to clear one of the climbs in Graham hills:  |

If I was climbing with one hand on the bars, one foot clipped in, the other hand and foot on the ground and trying to do a wheelie I would probably DNF too ;D ;D ;D Good job guys! |

I'm fighting this persistent cough that I have right now. I'll rest for now and hopefully I can get rid of this cough by Saturday for our Graham road trip on Sunday. But with cough or no cough I will still ride on Sunday in Graham. Get rid of that sh_t ;D . If I can make it to GH, you have an excuse if you won't be able to catch up on those climbs. ;D ;D ;D not because of the cough.  take some Vit C ss-ridah! |

I'm tryin'! Stumpy, don't worry, most likely I will be sweeping anyway not because of my cough but because of my legs cramping and of course to be able to video tape you girls pushing your GEARED bike up those hills. ;D

Graham Hills Park features several miles of aggressive single track for the intermediate to advanced rider. The entrance is located in
Pleasantville on Rt 117, just East of the Taconic State Parkway.
By Car:
From the Taconic Parkway Southbound - Exit at Route 100 / Route 133 Millwood Exit. At end of ramp make a left and follow route 100
South. Route 100 merges with 9A South, then follow to exit for route 117. At light at end of ramp make a left onto Rt 117 and follow until
you see park entrance on right (about 1/4 mile)
From the Sprain Brook Parkway / Taconic Parkway Northbound - exit at route 117 exit and at the end of the ramp, make a right turn and a
quick right into park entrance.
From Saw Mill Parkway Southbound - Exit at Taconic state Parkway North exit. Stay to the right and exit the Taconic immediately at Rt 117
exit, and at the end of the ramp make a right turn and a quick right into the park entrance.
From Saw Mill Parkway Southbound - Exit at exit #26 Taconic Parkway North. Stay to the right and exit the Taconic immediately at Rt 117
exit. Make a right turn at the end of the ramp and then a quick right into the park entrance.
By Train:
Take Metro North Railroad to the Pleasantville Station, when you exit the train walk to the stairs towards the rear of the train. Take steps up
to Bedford Road. Make a right out of the stairs and ride down Bedford road, this will take you to the park but you must turn left at the
intersection of Bedford and Pleasantville roads. There is a 7-11 almost on the corner of that intersection. If you get to the Grand Union or
the Volkswagen dealership you missed it. Follow Bedford road which will become 117 until you see the park entrance on the left.

Church at 10am for me guys. Sorry.
If I can find a way to rig up a rack on my motorcycle, I'll probably make it to more rides.
