NRT ride -{Sunday Oct 28}

Sunday morning seven guys gathered at the parking lot of Bike Cycles to head over to ride New River Trails. These are the trails that I actually learned to ride years ago when I made the transition from my 20" Hutch Trickstar to my first Cannondale. It was like going back in time, only on a much nicer bike.

The trail has a little bit of everything to offer anyone, the freeride guys like to hit the playground and the natural drops, the XC guys like to ride the well flowing trails, and then guys like me get to learn how to ride the skinny or the teeter-totter.

We are planning a trip back next Sunday, hopefully I'll get some more pictures of these guys, as well as the other riders to post up here.

Catching up

Well, I knew it would happen. As soon as the Doctor released me, I had to hit the road for a few weeks. It's not that I mind working or traveling, I just hate that it disrupts my mountain biking. I feel like I am in a constant "beginner" state, because every time I build up my endurance, and get my legs and lungs working together and actually see improvement.... I have to hit the road. It gets extremely frustrating.

I also had to miss a local race that I was looking forward to, "12 hours in the Pit Endurance Race" for the wounded warriors. Once I got back in town, I went the very next day and purchased a few shirts and talked to the club Prez about the event, I'll post a link as soon as I see the write up on it.

I have three more days in town before hitting the road again, next stop Dallas Tx.
