One lap of each, a bit of the connecting dirt road, and a quick jaunt up to Lake Orion to watch the ducks in the park while eating some fruit\/nut mix added up to just over 25 miles.<\/p>\n<p>One really nice surprise in Bald Moutain was <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/moblog\/20090730172833.jpg.html\">this brand new bridge over a previously muddy spot<\/a>, which is located just after the Conklin Road entrance. That image there (and above) is looking back at it, after crossing over. <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/moblog\/20090730172911.jpg.html\">Here is how it looks as you approach it.<\/a> I&#8217;m not sure who did it, but I suspect one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/uia\/0,1607,7-118--78493--,00.html\">Team MARVIN<\/a> (currently unemployed) <a href=\"http:\/\/mmba.org\">MMBA<\/a> members who have been doing loads of wonderful summer trail maintenance all throughout the area.<\/p>\n<p>This ride, and last night at Stony Creek with the usual group, was also a chance to try out <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2009\/07\/28\/fox-32-f100-rlc-on-2008-specialized-rockhopper-m4-frame\/\">the new fork<\/a> on trails that I know well. Thus far I&#8217;m really, really happy with the fork. In short, hard bumps don&#8217;t feel as severe, my front wheel sticks more solidly to the ground, and it&#8217;s noticeably lighter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Needing to clear my head and relax a bit after work, I headed out to Bald Mountain North Unit and Addison Oaks for some bike&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2009\/07\/30\/new-bridge-at-bald-mountain-north-unit\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">New Bridge at Bald Mountain North Unit<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cycling","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1800"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1800\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1802,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1800\/revisions\/1802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
