Oh, and I managed to break my FN left big toe just strolling through the house. So not much in the way of blogging … Continue reading “Back to Hitting the Local Stuff”
So there has not been too much on the MTB scene that I have felt like writing about since I got back from Japan. That does not mean that I have not been riding.

Being Sick Sucks. At little over a week ago I started fighting off a cold/crud and well I lost the fight. By Tuesday I was good and jacked up with a cold/flu. This is such an awesome time of year to being ridng and being sidelined just sucks. I missed out on a really cool sounding 50+ … Continue reading “Being Sick Sucks!”
Okay I’m getting a bit stir crazy with having to take some time off the bike as well as all the rain. Folks please give our wet trails some recovery time after these rains.
