Fuel EX 9.8. Partly cloudy but bright, warm, 68 to 76 degrees, variable winds not a factor in the woods. First time to Atwood since late August. trails were dry and tacky, only one puddle. I did a lot of riding - Marsh and Prairie trails in both directions, 4 trips around the Founders Loop, 4 on Big Wheel, crossed the river and did two complete loops in both directions on the blue chunky trails. The Blackhawk trails near the top in both directions are really getting rough with big chunks of limestone sticking up, had to put my foot down on the first pass climbing out. On the other hand, they've improved a few sections of banks. Not a bad average speed considering I did over 2,000 feet of climbing. I saw about 6 other riders out on the trails and just a few hikers. Spotted 2 deer on the way out. Drove all the way home and had lunch at the Geneva Ale House.
