<\/p>\nI got back from Japan a couple of weeks ago and have been taking it easy for the most.\u00a0 Enjoying the “normal” things in my life like the kid’s hockey games, practice, honey-dos, etc….\u00a0Oh,\u00a0and I managed to break my FN\u00a0left big toe just strolling through the house.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0So not much in the way of blogging about mountain biking.\u00a0\u00a0But I been squeaking in some ride here here and there.<\/p>\n
Before the toe breakage, I met up with one of the usual suspects at one of the usual suspect spots for some playtime on the rocks.\u00a0\u00a0 After not riding here for over six months, the rocks and all the moves looked bigger.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m going to have to repolish my game in this area.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Just a couple of days ago, I tested out the toe on ride through Calvera with my youngest son, Jake.\u00a0 While the toe was mildly a pain, it is okay to ride with.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n
What I was really stoked about was how well Jake was hanging.\u00a0\u00a0 I rode at around 90% of my normal pass and he was right there the whole time.\u00a0 We did not do a whole lot of stopping either, just riding.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Kids never seem to amaze me at the rate at which they progress.\u00a0\u00a0 We had a really good time out there and we got in around 12-14 miles all together.\u00a0 It was a good day to be a Dad and on a bike.<\/p>\n
