My Thoughts, Riding experiences, Industry experiences, and Life experiences that all somehow involve bikes

I have seen dirt. Dirt has seen me.

Some pics came through of my adventures this past Tuesday at Da Summit. Here is one of dirt…yes dirt. I know it is hard to believe. But it was there and it was soft enough for me to play with it and for K to taste it. MMMMM dirt! Needs a little Tabasco to melt the rest of that pesky white stuff around it. Don’t get too excited though…we still have a least a month before we can relax about snow falling. It will go by fast. I promise!

My right leg has finally healed from the fun and games on Tuesday. I got out on my fixie (Totem) yesterday and enjoyed a nice ride around Stoneham. Dropped off a movie and got some groceries afterwards. It was nice out, not super cold. It was right around 6pm and the wind started to pick up a bit. I got a weird look from a guy pushing shopping carts at Shaws. I gave him a weird look back.  The look conveyed: “What? you’ve never seen a guy on a bike? Look at you…you are pushing a hunk of cold metal around too. Maybe you are the crazy one. At least my hunk of metal brings me places and doesn’t have a wobbling wheel. HAHAHHAHAHA!”

Well, after my 4 days off from the bike (damn muscles) I am itching to get back on my sled and ride to work tomorrow. The weather should hold off until Wednesday so it should be a good Monday to start the week off right. I am also going to post a pic of some sick googles that were found and given to me. Hmmm I may have mentioned them in my last blurb.  They are the wackiest and sexiest googles I have ever slipped onto my face. No idea who made them. Maybe that is why I like ’em so much.

Sooooo, tomorrow will be a fixed ride in and back. Tuesday will be an early snow shoe expedition to pack some trails down in hopes to ride them for Saturday. The snow shoes really do a great job and they really don’t leave it packed smooth. This makes the trail bummpy… simulating some roots and rocks (that are really covered by the snow).

Hope to see you out there. As always go out and enjoy some brew at you local watering hole and have a great couple of days!
