Tuesday I had this staple removed from my knee, it was helping to secure the a.c.l allegraph I got last November. It is an inch long and about 3/8th's wide,I was surprised it was as long as it is.Thursday "T" day, we had our first snow, a good dusting,I always enjoy seeing it come down,and our pre Thanksgivin day ride was a blast,the knee held up great,Wednesday it hurt pretty bad,like I had been hit in the shin with a hammer,but it was much better "T"day than I thought it would be, so I met four others at the lower loch raven trails for an excelent ride,no snow down there though,just a bit wet,I was looking forward to a pedel in the snow.I went home to the warmth,cleaned up and went to two turky dinners, happy and full,of food my new bike and knee. Posted by Picasa

Good Riding

I haven't been taking enough pic's lately, I have a great appreciation to the photog's out there, one wouldn't think that so much goes into a shot but try biking,skating,whatever, and stop to take a shot when truly inspired,
it's hard,
it means you blow your line and the juice that goes with it.
Now your probably expecting a great pic, I got nothin, from this weekend.

A great bike end it was, Red Man on Saturday,tough, wet, icy/frosty at two pm. Leafy,greasy and a feeling I was running square wheels.
Then I go to Lower Lock Raven at ten thirty today,Sunday,
meet Cevert's and Sean and kill some dry,fast,not so leafy,fast,single speed religionalistical,perfect fall trail.
When my Locher connection split to Santa Fe I was bummed. I know the trails there but it's more fun getting dragged though the woods not thinking about any thing but keeping up, not having to make the executive decision that, this will tie to that or what's the line I feel like taking today,none of that, just ride your ass off knowing that the leader is gonna hook it up super fun style!
So I rode with my connections counter part C.S.
It was like old times ,those trails rip! And hold up nicely in the change of seasons.
It's supposed to turn to total S weather this week, so that might have been the last dry un frozen ride for a long time.
Next ride is scheduled for Thanks giving morn and it looks like rain and snow/sleet showers (slain), I cant wait!
