16 & 30 July Cuban MagLab Higher Ground Beginner Ride

The Cuban MagLab Higher Ground Beginner Rides: You need not be Cuban, MagLab, Higher Ground, nor Beginner to participate. Show up and ride with us! 16 July: We rode from the Higher Ground MTB shop through Fern Trail, Tom Brown's Goose Pond (paved bike-ped), Cadillac, Loblolly and Lafayette Heritage Trail. Similar to the 11 June ride minus the Bog Loop and adding Lower/East Cadillac. Something over 15M/25Km for the main group. Longest ride yet, after decreasing distances in the previous weeks. But the quality was always there. These are some of the "roughest" photos yet. I was even more careless than usual. It's not a good sign when I'm: 1) attempting to snap photos while rolling/pedaling, 2) shooting video and snapping stills simultaneously. You get your money's worth around here. 30 July: WAIT! There was a ride? We thought it got canceled! What happened? There was a cloud somewhere up there, you know, in the sky, so nobody else joined me for what turned into an 8.5M ride. Wednesday (the Jabberwocky) and I took a relaxing roll through Lafayette Heritage Trail, Loblolly, East Cadillac highside, along Lake Piney Z, then back on the multiuse to the BMX track. Here's a slide show. Here's a GPS track. Follow virtually along my solo ride here. Let the page fully load, then press the play button. Btw, during the ride, there was zero rainfall and lots of sun.
