Man, I needed this ride. Long ass week at work kept me off the bike; had one ride at Mai side but was feeling horrible and dragging. Was planning to head out yesterday PM but the rain put a stop to that. My plan was to get at least three hours on the bike today. I set Nancy up with the big hoops and headed out from home to do the “local” loop. Paced myself and felt great at the end. Was going to take the 234 path to Minnieville but the head wind was brutal so I just doubled back home. I put new pulleys on my rear mech but Nancy is still making noise, time to service the BB. Trails were perfect. Gorgeous autumn morning for a bike ride. Oh, and PWFP has re-surfaced Burma and it was riding great, up and down. Used my shokz bone conducting headphones for the second time since I got them and listened to one of those iTunes random stations. One of the first songs that played, Love and Rockets’ “so alive”; one of the last? Pearl Jam’s “Alive” :-) Good times…
