Fat Ass New Year's Day 2025

 

Waking up New Year's Day 2025 would be not only the first ride day of 2025. It would also be a low key and lazy kind of ride to the Backyard Trails. 

Fat Ass New Year's Day Ride 2025

This first ride of 2025 would be slightly different ride after the 2024 ride year as the last year was a year of effort and seeking some quietly set challenges. One which has been completed will be revealed soon in the year end review. While the other was completed the day before.

2 Calendar Years- Another Quiet Streak- December 31st 2024

This ride was more of an easy hack ride in the woods plus was interested in seeing if the Beaver Dam had survived the combination rain and snow melt. 

Well, didn't take long to find that getting near where the Beaver dam was would not be today. The whole approach trail was flooded. the other fork to see if could at least get near the first rapids section which fed the pond near the Dirt Camp.

Was able to get to the first rapids though as can see from the photo definitely can't get further out on the rocks.  Maybe another day can access the trail that goes near where the Beaver Dam is or maybe was.

With it flooded and kind of feeling lazy decided that was it for the woods and time to head out to go somewhere warmer and maybe just read. Because just getting out in the woods like tis is enough.

2 Calendar Years- Another Quiet Streak- December 31st 2024

 It was a warmer and slightly damp day when headed out for the last ride of 2024. The snow had melted so back to leaves and wearing of knee warmers instead of thermal tights. 

2 Calendar Years of Riding Straight

This would also be another streak quietly achieved. While the earlier one of two years post major surgery of riding every day was a big deal. To be honest that was truly about proving myself and being a bit loud about it as right or wrong I felt as an athlete had so much to prove after being maimed. And the crap had to deal with for 5 plus years.. This one was different.

730 Day's Of Riding- Arney Mtn Oct 19th 2024

I didn't say anything about it. To be honest I just rode everyday and didn't think of it even as a goal. As said above I had already loudly proven myself. This just happened. 

Wile out and riding a section of the Backyard Trails spotted a side trail thanks to the leaves. Hadn't spotted that before though gives some ideas for the future. Maybe return with the hand saw.

After that section back tracked and headed to the trails that take you towards what I call the Dirt Camp. 

At the Dirt Camp it was time to pause and enjoy a beer during the last ride of the year. Some would go on about the little things and so on. Well, after the last 5 years I have more then earned to enjoy doing this.

Still a little too chilly out to use the hammock I have and use in the warmer times of year. Though after almost 5 years of use. While it has been good am thinking that might update with something that is newer and has a bug net.

Today would use the packable Therma rest inflatable seat with the the slowly rotting away log to sit on. Because you know mid ride beer in the woods is the best thing. And the last ride and beer in woods of 2024.

After beer it was time to head out to go by Tim's to warm up a wee bit. Then head home for food and maybe the last weight training session of 2024 before New year's Eve watching of TV and another beverage at midnight.

And later will do a proper year review of 2024. Because you know a true year end review should be done in January after New year's Eve has passed and the year rolled over. Not weeks prior when there is still data to add and adventures to be done.
