It's telling me to move the thrust levers to the idle (retarded) position. One of the several French to English translation oddities with the Airbus.

I thought it was a personal commentary and quite accurate too!

Good time riding today. We had some wind, rain, heavy downpour, wind and some sun. Little muddy, but good fun.
Phil keeps adding sections. Pretty soon we’re going to be in there cutting brush and trimming those DAMN thorns.

I added a fww a couple weeks ago and I could really tell the difference.
Of course, WF hopped his Beta over a monster tree and I skid plated it and then pushed with my feet
But his Beta was tired today, it kept wanting to lay down

Once wet the wind should have dried you out quickly.
Good that woods is health and not full of dead Ash trees like my place is.....after today my loop probably looks like a war zone

Had a good ride out at the Emmitsburg Farm today! It was cool to have Wingfixer out there and show him around. Sam and Bruce were there to play as well. I was excited that the rain had stopped before I even left the house, I thought it was going to be a dry day. Not long after we started the rains came in. Just enough to soak my gloves and jersey... But we persevered, the heavy rains were short lived and we eventually dried out.

We rode all the trails and started scouting out a new trail. Next time I'll start putting up some ribbon.




fairly open and easy to lay a trail

Its hard to even see the slope, but this is a tricky uphill w/ a turn. Was quite slick with the rain.

I couldn't get my gloves off quick enough to take more pics, I just caught Sam coming down into the trials play area. Its a cool spot

Hard to see how steep this is in pics. But with the heavy leaves its a little tricky.


Pat made it up just fine till he stopped...
It was an awkward angle behind me, the bike fell over and Pat rolled 10-15 ft down the slope. I couldn't quite manage to get both in the shot.

I'm not sure what Bruce is doing here, pretending his trials bike has a seat.

But he is clearly having a good time.




Sam dragged feet a little but powered right up no problem.

Just one of my favorite trails. Pretty along the creek.

Great pics Phil! Wish I could have been there. Glad to hear you all had a great time.
