It was one of those wonderful weekends. One that makes me realize just how lucky I am. I realize it's really just great to be alive. I have an amazing life. It all started Friday when my sister in law sent us this:
My nephew is a boy after my own heart.
Saturday was a hard ride with some friends. I never felt good. Never found my legs, or rhythm. I did feel like I kept getting kicked in the teeth. But I never got dropped, I never quit, I just kept telling myself one more hill, one more section... Stay on the wheel... At the end of the day, well I made it to then end of the ride. It was a good day.
Sunday, Diane and I headed down to Elk Neck.Conditions were outstanding. Elk Neck is great fun, one of my favorite places to ride. There's not a ton of trail there, but it's like Jedi training for my favorite kind of riding. Tight, twisty, rooty, oddly placed rocks and logs and difficult technical climbs. Diane was riding very well, I was proud. I mentioned to her that Elk Neck was like Dagobah system. It's Jedi training. She says to me with a smile and a wink, "I've wish I could get Yoda off my back!" We both laughed out loud.
And then there was hanging with Layla and Potter.
hard to have a bad weekend with these guys.
(warning gratuitous cute puppy photo next)
weather looks good in the next ten days. Hoping to do Sugar Hill next weekend and a little tour of Fairhill if we can... Daylight savings time should get us some good riding this week too. Just in time, I was starting to feel a bit like a vampire. Let's have some fun...
thanks for reading.
