Super fun night at the ole TNR. We had some L&C rookies show so we showed them the ropes. All the lads came through with flying colors. The first lap always gets me at L&C. The climbs will crush you. We even timed it perfectly as it just started to spit rain as we were loading up the vehicles.I think this was only my third time at L&C this year. I know, I can't believe either. The trail report goes like this. There are a few downed timbers (none requiring off the bike menuveurs) but overall the trail is in awesome shape. The descents are smooth, fast and flowing. I have a feeling I'm going to be spending quite a bit more time at L&C this fall.
Looking ahead to the weekend...there's the 155 run that the FFL crew is hitting up...or there's the sugarbottom scramble in Iowa City (highly recomended)...or there's the bacon ride, Anne and I have been a little delinquent on attending the bacon ride this year but we've got a few weeks left. I called the park this morning and the buffet will be going through the end of month. So if you're down, Annie and I will be making the ride out. Leaving midtown with big gears on the SS's around 6am, hopefully meeting team evil unicorn, (Sam, Snob, and Nut) as well as whoever else isn't hitting up the 155.
Welp, thanks again for the ride tonight fellas, let's do it again next week.

so, if driving to platte sunday, where should we meet? I think Lynden and I want to introduce our self to platte sunday but i have no idea where to go. Do you meet up at the "lodge." the sounds soooo "twin peaks."
thanks. tonight was fun. I was slow but had a great time.

Hey Robert, you have a couple option. To ride the east side mtb trails you'll want park in the wild turkey parking lot. You can also ride around the waterfall area, it's much more flat so Lynden might enjoy it more. L&C is definitely the most challenging in terms of climbing so what you'll experience at Platte won't seem as tough.
We should be out there about 8:30am, probably won't have time to ride a lap since they close the trails at 9am for horseback rides. (east side only)
Good seeing ya last night. one gear more beer!
'Crush' - Excellent word. That is exactly how my lungs felt. When I bought my old C'Dale from Tony, 10 years ago, he told me that the only way to get better is to ride with people better that you.
You guys definitely proved that to me last night.
I've got a long way to go but I had a great time.
Thanks!
