Snow

Guitar Ted said that snow is like hero dirt. I'd say that he's dead-on right. I'm not saying that snow riding beats a good ride during riding season, but it sure brings a special smile to you when you go out and ride a few miles in it.


I was lucky to get a message from Red Fuel today, he wanted to ride at KK in the afternoon. It just so happened that my afternoon plans had changed, so I was free to ride. Today's snow ride was slow, but fun. I'm going to try and get back out tomorrow as well. Maybe Palos over the weekend? That'd be nice.

CX on singletrack, oh yeah!

I saw this video posted over on Facebook. I love it, especially since I ride my Iro Rob Roy over at Knoch Knolls a lot and have even taken it out to Palos a few times as well. I also like the quality of the video that the rider/videographer gets out of his camera. I think I need to add this camera to my want list.

It had to happen.

It rained.

That's not so bad though, it was just a little of it, I'll bet the trails never even felt it.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's KK ride, even if it ends up being another solo one. Then we've got workdays at SWK on Saturday & KK On Sunday. I'm looking forward to clearing out the south river trail so it can be used again.

I like riding on dirt

I rode KK with NapervilleKerry and OoklatheMok this evening and it was fun. I was able to prove to Kerry that he isn't the slowest guy out there after all. I live to give people joy, that's what I do.

Trail riding proves to me that all that limestone I ride isn't enough though. I'm still out of "trail-shape." I'll go see the doctor, but I know what he'll recommend, take two trail rides and call him in the morning. Who needs that mess? I'll just ride and save the co-pay. :D

Hopefully the rain will either hold off or just be light enough to not drench the trail. I hope to get back out soon.

It's cold...

Man, I haven't posted in forever. There have been a lot of rides since I last posted. The Poker ride, Kettle, a lot of KK and Springbrook, The klunker ride, etc. Good times.

I almost made it out tonight for a quick run at KK but got tied up at home. I might get to ride if it stays dry tomorrow. I'll probably have to bring out the lights too since it gets dark so early.

I've been on the 1x9 pretty much since a week after the Poker ride. I'm getting ready to hang the Monocog and JTS up from the ceiling, but I think the Rob Roy and the D460 will stay down and readily accessible.

Choices, it's all about choices.
