Training Continues in Peachtree City

Yesterday evening, myself, Dan and a cool dude who I haven't ridden with in a while rode a combination of singletrack and cart paths in Peachtree City.  We started out on Stinky Trails, a really good set of singletrack on the south end of Peachtree City. We started right when it was dusk, which is really my favorite time to ride, just when you need your lights on but there's enough light in the sky to let you know what is around you. But that didn't take long to change, soon enough we were riding in pure night.

After a few miles of singletrack, we got on the Peachtree City cart paths. Not too many people out, although we did go by Schrader's Graveyard, unfortunately too dark to take any pictures, but let me tell you, the fog machine and lighting really made for a good display! We also rode past a group of riders, good to see more bikers getting out there at night. One thing I like about night riding is that your senses are definitely set on HIGH. I also like how even though I have ridden these trails many times, night riding changes them into a new set of trails to ride, pretty cool!

We did a little over 18 miles last night. This next week will be difficult to train as I will be on midnight shifts meaning I will only be able to ride at night, AND I will be dead tired, but I got to get out there and ride!



Bikes loaded, ready to ride!
Dan ready to do some shreddding!
