skinny bridges

Aysh went off to ride while we sat waiting for friends to finish. When I hadn't seen her for awhile I went out looking for her, afraid she might have followed a trail off in to the woods to get lost. That's when I saw her, over in the bike park, sitting at the top of a hill waiting to go over a bridge that others on downhill bikes in full gear were doing.

Dumb and dumber



Aysh and I got the Trail70 running this weekend and took it for an illegal ride around the neighborhood. Keep it on the down-low and please don't call the po-po. Turn up the sound for this...


Dumb and Dumber - Trail70




Last weekend we hit the BMX track and had a little fun.

I rode today and it was a beautiful thing...

I rode my bike today and it was a beautiful thing. It had been 4 weeks since having the cast off and being off crutches, and nearly 10 weeks since my ankle was fixed. I tried to ride last week and sadly turned around about four blocks from home. Today I was given the ok to ride provided the ankle was wrapped with ace wraps and I did nothing stupid.


Being immobile for so long is a great reminder of the things that you take for granted. My ride only lasted 20 minutes and that was maybe even too much, but it was that pure enjoyment that you feel as a kid out riding that can never be bottled. Hitting the trails just because they are there, finding where a new branch of trail goes, wind in your hair, tires whirring along the pavement, and legs methodically going around in circles. It was fabulous....

I was also amazed though how much my wrists, back, and butt hurt, and how fast my lungs and legs gave out, I doubt kids have those pains. :)
