I wasn't sure if I'd get a ride in this weekend. Saturday, Jamie and I went on a hike and Sunday is typically is set aside for church. At about 8:00 pm on Sat. I started thinking about the realistic prospect of a Sunday morning ride. Maybe a short ride up CWT, two or three laps.
I woke up early on Sunday and was out of the house by 6:30 am. CWT was the ticket on my neglected Cyclocross bike (Cross Bike). I haven't ridden my cross bike in a while, let alone a geared bike on the mountain, and it was a refreshing change. It handled extremely well on the climbs and the descents weren't half bad. The trick to descending on a skinny wheeled cross bike is to stay loose with hands placed in the drops.
I did two laps around CWT (Up Burbank down Cobal X2) and was home will in time to eat a bowl of cereal, shower and head off to church.

hello!
do you like riding a BMX?
I don't have one, but can't wait until my son is able to ride one. I tell my wife, when my boy is old enough, I'll buy two BMX bikes. One for him and one for me.
I haven't ridden a BMX in years, many years.
