In a good way. Busy enough that I have been living life and not carving out time to share it in this format. I go throgh these spells. I have come to realize that this blog is just as much a sanitized log of my life on two wheels for myself as much as it is for sharing with others. So I&#8217;m going to fill in the historical gap from my last ride until present with a handful of ride stories and pics to tell the story. It is currently the later half of August but this post is going to be date back to middle of May. I will close the gap until the posts about the amazing times on the bike I am currently having in Washington state.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212; Now onto the catchup &#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1927 alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mountainbikebill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190601_114515.jpg?resize=840%2C408\" width=\"840\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mountainbikebill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190601_114515.jpg?w=4032&amp;ssl=1 4032w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mountainbikebill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190601_114515.jpg?resize=300%2C146&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mountainbikebill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190601_114515.jpg?resize=768%2C373&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mountainbikebill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190601_114515.jpg?resize=1024%2C498&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mountainbikebill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190601_114515.jpg?resize=1200%2C583&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mountainbikebill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190601_114515.jpg?w=1680 1680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mountainbikebill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190601_114515.jpg?w=2520 2520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So I bought a new toy.
