I put street tires on my HT last night... pedaled it around the driveway a bit and up and down the street a couple of times. Not much... but it's the most riding I've done in a couple of months.

I'm really sorry to hear about your knee splat. For someone who likes to ride as much as you, that really sucks.

I spent a kickass couple of hours on the singlespeed last night. The trails were in great shape, and these TNUA rides and sessions on the trainer really seem to be paying off. I was strong on all the hills and still felt strong at the end of the ride. :thumb:

I went to a bikerag.com video night with Tonyhawk and his girlfriend last night. The showed a local video that was well done, and then the Collective and NSXVIII. The Collective is probably the best MTB video I've seen yet. NSX VIII was pretty damned cool too and there are some CT riders who can pull off some damn good freeriding featured in the local video.

They also had a raffle and I won a bikerag.com T-shirt, two Jagermeister shot glasses, and a bikegrag.com thong (not sure what to do with that yet - maybe a bike mojo item or something?).

Oh yeah and I also picked up some nice Marwi handlebar lights from Tonyhawk last night!

Thanks for driving and thanks for the lights Tony!!

Oh, I worked out again last night for the third straight night (shoulders), after getting out of work late. I plowed through my workout kind of fast because I wanted to get home, now my shoulders are pretty sore from the fast pace.

I may or may not go again tonight. I am undecided as of right now. Tomorrow my brother and I are clearing a few things out of my grandmother's house and driving them to Long Island. She's been moved into an assisted living facility and needs her stuff.

I went riding last night. Just the usual park ride. I have been practicing jumps and hit a couple last night. I am improving. We beat the rain which is cool. I go to the docs today so I probably won't be able to ride tonight. Oh well. Next ride planned is for Tuesday. I hope to get one in before that......jdcamb

Well the saying on the Thong says "Save a Tree - Eat a Beaver" so I'm not sure if it would be an appropriate present for Laura!
She'll love it:


That was definitely a good time! Watching the amateur video in between the pros made me realize how much I suck though. I need to quit my job so I can ride all day...

IAB: What was your excuse for not going?

Well you see, since I'm old now, my knee is hurt so I can't ride, so I get sick. It's a crappy circle.
