Post Number Two

Yeah, put another finger in the air. I'm back.
Went here last night, met up with this guy, and had some fun.
Then my better half and I went to the Chambersburg Y to the pre-race meeting for this after eating PBJs in the car for dinner.

Tonight or tomorrow I plan to put this fork on this bike. Should lead to good fun.



Yes, I know, isn't that the same fork? No. It's 100mm instead of 80mm and it's TA instead of QR.

I'll quit now.

October

Got out for a solo ride last night. Wanted to check a route for a group ride this coming Saturday. Rode a new-to-me trail that I can't believe I waited this long for. Beautiful evening. Been on and off the bike this year due to injuries and such so it was also good to just see what I may still have in the tank.

Beautiful night.
Ridgetop gloaming rolling down singletrack
Defeated sun ruddiness to my right
Pale triumphant moon to my left
Cabin windows winking through the trees
Turn the light off, expand the world
Night sounds crowd in, the last effort of insects before winter
Silver pools of moonlight on the road, my shadow glides through
Trail up, flip on the light, shrink my world to a pool of electricity
Stare down a deer, say hi, see Jr. poke his head up beside mom
Back to road, kill the electricity, open up the universe and climb home...
