There be a thunderstorm rolling through. One lightning flash was close and bright enough that my eye has a blind spot 3min later. Guess that was bad timing to look up? One more day where I don't need to keep delaying turn the sprinklers on.
Well, I didn't get to ride dh today, but I did ride with my daughter and took her on her first singletrack which is equally awesome. She thoroughly enjoyed it and asked when we can go again.
Just realized that the section I have been studying all day, and killing myself over, is supposed to be the last section for study. No wonder it was so fucking demoralizing and I was struggling with practice tests - all the tests are assuming hard based underlying of the other stuff so that you finish going through the hardest possible and the real test is easier. Dammit.
God damn. Go big or go home!

Hope he heals up just fine, and that if his first helo ride was a life flight it was at least on something cool, not some bullshit Jetstar.
In other kids on bikes news, took the kiddo to the park for a few hours this morning, and a group of 10-12 year olds showed up on their bikes. The "crappy" one of the bunch was a Cove, but the rest were all riding something carbon, one had Enve wheels, all rocking brand new jerseys and the latest sick-bro shades and helmets. WTF, who buys a 10 year old a $5k bike to roll to the park on?

Lightning followed by thunder less than a second after is really, really loud
true story
(My 10 year old’s bike was $4,662 w/tax per the receipt I just looked up… Trailcraft Maxwell 26. Crabon wheels and bars, FS, KS Lev, 1 x 12 XT group. Her first real bike.)

Jesus actually works at my local taco truck. Debated for lunch. . . But also. . . Not today Jesus.
just to cockblock whatever clever thing Kidwoo is thinking, my kid never had more than a $500 bike for the bike park.
And it was the same one he road to school on.
So now we know what really happened yesterday.
Shit... I'm thinking about selling Haley's Trek now because it's too small and Hannah won't ride it for 3yrs and probably doesn't need a full-on trail bike.
I held on to grip shifters, and still have like 5 shocks 2010 that don't fit anything sitting in my garage. Cryin on the wrong shoulder. Hold on to the thing until it's time.
In all seriousness, the 'my kid has the latest shit' when it comes to things like bikes always struck me as a reflection of the parents' vanity more than anything else. They won't legit hate you until the early teens so take advantage where you can.
damn my first bike was a used Schwinn Typhoon. it was around $50 I still have not bought a complete bike for over $1400. Big difference when you have to buy the shit out of your own money.

Well, it's a two-part look.
1) Haley's not using it and we can get away with a much cheaper HT that will fit for a long time and use the funds elsewise.
2) Will Hannah even want to ride mtb then? Realistically, I'm not riding at this point, which means she's not. She's doing gymnastics and swimming, and she wants to start soccer. Plus she'll likely want to follow Haley into karting and whatever else, assuming she doesn't dial into her own sports.
What's the point of having a really nice FS trail bike if she's likely not going to ride it? I can easily pull a few grand out of it, take a grand for Haley's replacement bike, and put the rest towards karting.
Just read that GMT. Scary stuff! Hope he’s feeling better quick!
Recall that I have 3 kids so things get used multiple times. And this was a bike that is sized right for her all around (152 mm cranks, eat your heart out rideit!), and going lighter makes a lot more sense when one weighs 68 lb.

i should probably blame my kid's off on the fact that he's riding a likely misaligned, overforked, 27.5/26 mulleted intense tracer? amirite?
I'm a sucker for a nice cruiser. That's a nice cruiser.
(fuck coaster brakes though)
It is really firing down here, HUGE lightning
Weather just said 5" if rain in 2 hours near Greeley. That's a lot of soggy cows but a damn good job that didn't happen up one of the canyons.
And... Wifey just said save it for Hannah. Wouldn't even listen to the reasoning why we should turn it. Oh well. I can only do what I can.
Fuck, I’d love to have 1/4” of that.
