Got to ride this morning. "They" said rain.....nope. Trail was dry and really fast. Well...as fast as I can go recently. I running new rubber (Bontrager XDX's) on the gear'd Pereira. I had a ton of fun even though it was just an hour and I drove to the trailhead. WTF. Time is time and I ain't got alot of it these days.
My birthday is coming up....51. Headed to Fruita, god willing and the creek don't rise. Thinkin' about spending a good 4 days down there ridin' and havin' fun. I'll let y'all know what comes of it.

All work and no play
Been working on the house...".polishing a turd" as it's known to a few. We have a bathroom and now the promise of another room downstairs. I've exposed myself to a shit ton of silica dust these days so I'm just wondering what is in the works for my lungs, etc. Guess you gotta die of something...
Anyway...the good news is...is that my daughter, Caroline, has a new 12" bike and is crushing it! She's all about riding it (for now, at least) and I'm psyched. Hopefully, we'll get to ride together soon. We've been hittin' the pool too. She trotted up to the top of the big slide at Murray Park all by herself about 10 times yesterday...she's gettin' too big.
That's about it. Pretty boring, I know...but that's what my life has been like lately.
Ciao

On the bike again
Spiro Trail + out of shape me + SS = me.stopping.alot.
Good ride...71 deg at the start, 83 at the end. Saw a couple of people along the way...no one on the climb, group of 5 drillin' it on the 8000 ft trail, no one on John's. All in all...not a bad way to spend 2 hrs...except it hurt real bad.
Till next time....

Old Friends
I just spent some QT with some really old friends who live in Asheville.... We used to race bikes together and when we get around each other all the old stories start flying.
Like the time a few of 'em where sitting around the Thonotosassa store after a hugh mile day eatin' and drinkin' when one of 'em chucks a banana peel into an adjacent lot overgrown with grass and weeds. The old woman living in the house comes out, picks up the peel and chucks it back at Billy sayin', "...this place might look like a dump, but it ain't!".....just cracked everyone up.
Anyway....it was a great visit and made me miss them and the old days even more.

Back to Work
Helping out at a small LBS...psyched to get my hands dirty again. Been a long time since I've wrenched...a bit nervous that it'll all work out ok.
Wish me luck.
Later...
