Goin' to Dirt
Well, I have been having so much fun this past year on my mountain bike and my road bike. I gave up on the small undeveloped wooded city park near our home because the trails were always too rutted and possibly dangerous. A group of riders has spent hundreds of hours this summer expanding and improving the trails at Legacy Park in North Arlington. I have ridden this 4.7 mile loop dozens of times by myself without incident. I took Steve out today to show him the loop and because he was behind, I set a new personal best on the first lap.

Summer News from CT
Well it's not like we've done anything but we've had an OK summer so far. Went to the beach at Watch Hill, went to visit Corby's Dad in KY and we went on a sail around the harbor at New Haven. I've been really lazy as far as projects go. Wanted to put in a new patio but while I think I now know how to do it, I haven't dug the first shovel of dirt. Here are some pictures Watch Hill Buckhorn New Haven Harborl Saw Carey this week. He was had business in Hartford. Fun but don't have good picutures.
