I Spy....

There are two things in this picture you haven't seen in awhile. Can you find them?

If you couldn't find them, they are Nate on a mountain bike ( Glad to have you back man!) and a saddle bag on the back of my bike. After apparently disappointing my fellow boy scout brotherhood, I made sure I had both the saddle bag and an extra tube with me on tonights ride. Good thing as Nate caught a flat and needed a little air.

The local wildlife activists are excited to see this almost extinct bird migrating to our area and making their homes on the banks of the James River.

Question?

Q:When is it morally wrong to accept a spare tube from a friend while on a ride?

A:When you have a box that looks like this one full of tubes and CO2 and you didn't take one along for the ride.

Other than the flat I had a good time out at Poor Farm for about an hours worth of riding. Got to ride with some a bunch of people I hadn't seen in a good while. Why is it every time someone pulls out a camera, everyone turns their head?

New Bike Day @ PSP

Saturday morning brought cloudy skies and warm temperatures. The cloudy skies soon went away but the warm temperatures stayed! I was excited to get the new Turner Burner out on the trails and see firsthand what this full suspension craze was all about. Met Scott on his new 29'er SS-er and Kenny at 10 for a nice loop. Both Lakeview Trails are now open and boy are they nice!

Kenny caught a flat in one of the creek crossings.

Scott took time to ponder what was wrong with his new ride.


I stuck around for awhile and got in an extra loop before meeting John, Steve, Michelle for a ride at 4. After a quick pass of the Green, we were joined by the masterminds behind the Lakeview trails, Joel and Eric. Another lap of the blue then red then green again had us riding until almost sunset.

Couldn't imagine a better way to spend a day off from work at the beginning of Spring. Stay tuned for impressions of the Turner. Just want to get a few more rides in before reporting anything in detail but the first impressions are L-O-V-E the bike. Tires have to go! Three words - MAXXIS HIGH ROLLER.
