The day has finally come (or at least is very close to coming). Tomorrow myself and a rag-tag group of "so-called" mountain-bikers depart for a near two-week road trip of the Southwest. First stop Flagstaff, here we come Pay-n-take!I'm bringing my eeePC to keep y'all updated on all the riding your sorry ass is missing! That was a tinge cruel, but this weather has made me considerably tougher!
Yesterday I rode Amasa Back in Moab for the final bike "shake-down" before the trip. The ride, and bike, were excellent - soured only by a fantastic crash on the last possible drop on the trail. Just before crossing the stream to climb back to the lot, while pinning it, I decided to just huck off the final 4-footer instead of the usual notched route. Where I departed was a bit bigger than I had remembered and the landing was nothing more than a sandpit and boulder. Ooops. Front heavy, I exploded of the back of the bike and sent it hurtling in front of me. I'm okay, the bikes okay - lesson learned (IE don't be a dumbass).
In other news, Rennie signed with Morewood - thats interesting.
Also interesting( to those curious about how our country ended up in our current economic disaster) is this concise and exemplary article from the WSJ.
And finally, I'm totally enamored with the Wale. I'll agree with the critics on this one, best mixtape of 2008. Get it, listen to it, and hear it.
