What a great ride.
Road on some dirt. And some sand here and there. Twigs. lots of twigs. Oh, and some streams. Did some stream crossings. Rode over some ants. Oh, and a millipede too.
4/12 hour Single track mission with three buddies, in the wet. Tracks were amazing, loads of grip, loads of laughs, one very short iphone video, moochi in yellow, me in orange;
Put a nice scratch and nick on the leg of my fork. Rotors effed up too.
chairlift whoring ... steep runs on perfect tacky dirt, a mix of pine needles and loam.
18 miles of desert singletrack and rolling hillls into sandpits. Like riding on ball bearings...in a 30 mph headwind. But with 340 rideable daysa year, not all that bad. Looking forward to moving back to Germany to ride some real DIRT soon...
A quicky 1.5 hours Friday afternoon at Trumbull before work all weekend.

crashed and sprained my already weak ankle on the second run at maribor bike park, i can barely walk now. my riding buddy crashed and fcuked up his ankle on the same run, so we packed up after 1 hour at the bike park and were finished for at least this weekend on saturday, 1.00 p.m..... 
9.4 miles of nice single track on Sunday, got my ass handed to me from not being that active over winter and it only being my 3rd time out this season, waiting for my new fork, sold the old one. The new fork(Revelation RLT ti 150mm 20mm TA) is fukking awesome!
I recently moved back to my old hood, I can now ride out my driveway and be on the trail in less than a half mile.

Two snakebites in two hours. Time for a downhill tire. :/
My last ride was three blocks to the bar last night. (Dude it was sooo sick...) But before that it was my race run at the Ashland Super D, which capped a week of some of absolutely kick-ass riding in Ashland and Oakridge (Oregon). And later today I will have a new last ride.
Great day of Whistler just over a week ago. I got a little big for my britches with the speed in the berms, got in the back seat and manual-flipped off the bike and hit a tree.
I'm still creaking. Pretty sure I've got a cracked rib or two. Merde.

Nevegal?
This morning into work. Meh.
Close. I was forced to put a Small Block 8 on the back of my trials bike. This is like putting a really fat woman into a spandex outfit. It just ain't right and something's gonna give.
Quick 1 1/2 ride in 90+ humid swampy southern oppressive heat Saturday up to Greens Lick. Passed two dudes on hardtails whooping like it was a NASCAR race and immediately launched a water bar to squirrel.
He was running down the trail and veered left underneath my front wheel. It was like landing on a magic carpet at the airport.

My last ride:
Monday June 20th @ 4:20pm Pacific
Location: "The Luge" in OC, CA

Ride notes:
This is the first time I've brought my dog to this trail in almost a year. First off, we had our first kid last August, then in December we had a record rain that washed out the side of the steep paved road leading up to the trail. This trail is usually a loop with a bit of road at the beginning and the end, but wiht the dog I do an up-and-back BUT with the road side washed out there was no where for me to park until just last week. The only problem is that my dog is out of shape, or at least her paws are... So by the time we were headed back down to the truck, the skin on her paw-pads had started to come off. By the time we finished almost all of her pad had peeled off on both her front paws.
Poor girl... She still had a BLAST though, and if I try to go bike tonight I'm sure she will still sit by the door and whine as soon as I bring the bike out from the garage.

so the 25 days per year that are NOT rideable... to hot, or too wet?
vet has a spray you need to spray on their pads. It heals easily twice as fast.My last ride:

20 miles last night in two Fells loops over a couple of hours. Great ride minus the mosquitoes and the overgrowth of thorns on the side that have torn my forearms up.
Dead things are more baked and more decomposed and no longer stench. Fighting headwinds is no fun.
20 miles on the road yesterday with teh BABWIFE. It was her 4th day in a row and the previous three were tough and hilly. She was gassed from the start. She pushed through though! My legs were fresh so I really had to go easy so's not to get too far ahead of her.

Windy. 40 mph winds will do that to an old guy like me.
Rode last night. Put new skins on Mrs JohnEs ride, rode it up and down the street to make sure they were seated properly. Not like she will ride it anyway. But now the sidewall color matches her paint. Actually looks kinda cool, old beat up Haro (In excellent riding conditon...) with purple paint and sidewalls on the Armadillos...
When I read the thread head line I keep thinking that I hope that was not my last ride what I just did.
33 mile commute yesterday, 12 mile singltrack last night, commute in this morning. This morning may have been a mistake. 
Quick 14 mile road ride last night with some new shoes and beautiful weather.
(I still have to tweak my left cleat out just a touch more)

Got caught in a massive thunder storm Tuesday evening. We rode the last 35-40 min. in a heavy down pour. My hands matched my balls...
7 hours working/riding @ the pumptrack.
I effed up my Reba. Until this point it worked fine. Now, not so much. I hate working on forks.
About a 1.5hr/5mi slow paced trail ride with a friend who hadn't ridden a mountain bike since '95. Good times.
Besides the rain, did you have a death grip going? Some blisters.....Got caught in a massive thunder storm Tuesday evening. We rode the last 35-40 min. in a heavy down pour. My hands matched my balls...
