Wow! Let's do that again

That's the best phrase in cycling.

Spring is finally here. Eight hours on the bike over the weekend, sunburn, and some real singletrack.

After abusing myself on Saturday with 80+ miles (and over 5 hours, Mr. D.), with over 6,000 feet of climbing (allegedly), I sat in my rocking chair with a 'recovery drink' looking up at the mountain. There didn't seem to be much snow left up there.

Fast forward to Sunday morning and I've learned a few things. My new bike is an absolute blast on smooth, fast, winding singletrack. It's like switching from a big Caddy to a Lotus Elise.

And I love mountain biking. So let's do that again.

My mistake. It won't happen again.
