Yeah, I could hear him honking his horn at Sai who wasn’t trailing that far behind me. Sheesh!Great pics! Man... I get those jerks coming too close almost every week. UGH!

Late to seeing this but wanted to reply about how terrible it is and I really hope they catch the criminal who did this.So last Thursday started with me strapping my wedge and driver to the back of Level 2 and heading to the golf course for some practice. I took a pic outside of our house probably around noon before I departed. The next picture is from the ER after a motorist with road rage cut me off and apparently punched me in the mouth. I don't remember anything after the guy either cut me off or ran me off the road until I came to in the ER. Level 2 spent the weekend in the property room of the local PD and fortunately, I got back everything including my earbuds, golf clubs and sunglasses. Oh, yeah, and my helmet too. Probably saved my life. I have no idea who hit me. I am supposed to get a police report within 10 days...
first snake of the year. it can be tricky seeing them in summer if they are not moving they are pretty small.

No.Poisonous?
That’s the quandary that I faced on one occasion. If you recall, my desire to ride a non-powered ultra light weight mtb would have been ideal on a hike and bike last season to the top of the Prairie View Trail in K Country. The last 100 meters or so required that I carry the Levo up to the summit where the trailhead leading to the return down Jewell Pass was located Because of the steep and rocky terrain, there was no way I could lug it up without significant help so instead of the preferred looped route, I ended up riding an out and back.With the reference to @Prairie Dog's "fallen trees", I found it myself more convenient to ride a lightweight e-bike in the forest

A saw like that would come in handy for trees with less girth just to clear the trail for others who might come along. Lifting a bike over a few logs doesn’t pose much of an issue but it becomes tiring if the trail is constantly littered with deadfall.I carry this folding saw on all my trail rides:

It won't cut up a log like the one above but it will clear the branches off a newly fallen tree trunk so you can lift your bike over it.
I was caught on a trail by a sudden squall a few years back. Trees were blown down ahead and behind me and I had to cut my way out. Without that saw, I would have been stuck.
Holy carp is right. You may have well been better off riding in Mud Bay.But... holy carp! I thought the days of the Nemesis puddle were over, but no... Not only is it back, but dayum... it has moved, multiplied, and it's huge!
This picture doesn't do it justice. It goes right around the corner, and must be 200 - 300 feet long! It's also freakin' deep.
This is looking back from the other side. My feet were immersed with every pedal turn, and completely soaked.
No kidding!Holy carp is right. You may have well been better off riding in Mud Bay.
This is true. I've done it many times, most recently last season on the Pine Creek Trail in PA.A saw like that would come in handy for trees with less girth just to clear the trail for others who might come along. Lifting a bike over a few logs doesn’t pose much of an issue but it becomes tiring if the trail is constantly littered with deadfall.
That Corona Saw is carried by our local Home Depot as well and appears to get a thumbs up from the folks over at Pinkbike.I carry this folding saw on all my trail rides:
