I rode my new Giant Talon out to Sideways. Trail has not been improved and there was a short section after the long bridge where someone has put a lot of branches on the trail apparently trying to block it in some way. There were no signs posted so I just walked and coasted through. Reaching the Sideways Farm Brewery was great. The accept Apple Pay on my iPhone so that paid off since I didn’t have my wallet. My lower back has that on and off catch in it that is so painful but it didn’t hurt during the ride. Nonetheless the ride was very hard and took a long time. Honestly it was just as difficult on the new bike than the Specialized Hybrid. Comparing stats to 10 miler this one was a little shorter but with more elevation. The time was faster even though I stopped for almost 30 minutes to have a beer. In the next day or two my left leg started cramping at night. Severe pain that has lasted for weeks now. Calf foot and quads. Severe pain that neither Advil or Aleve can touch. Victoria deep Massge did not help. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21558-pulled-calf-muscle
