Word up mountain bikes

Well things have gotten super exciting recently.

Took a bunch of time off the bike. Lifted a bit, swam a lot, ran a couple times and worked a bunch, just had fun.

But let's see, Coach Chris had me lifting... hated it. too many people there, fighting for machines, couldn't focus on my work. just not enjoyable. I want to be outside if I am being physical, not sweating and being eyed up by every guy in the gym.

So on top of the lifting, I swam a lot. About a mile a night. boring, but a super good total body work out. Only could keep my captivated for so long.

Ran a few times.. had the endurance, the strength. My body just hated the impact. IMPACT SUCKS

Kept up work at Rev. I am learning all sorts of things; wheel truing, derailler tuning and other aspects of the bike business. Gets a little crazy, but it is awesome to finally have a job I care about and don't mind doing; hanging with my friends, working on bikes, selling bikes. Just sharin the love.

But the latest training thing that I love the most, Mountain Biking. I got a Specialized StumpJumper FSR. super awesome stuff. going out to brown county every other night with brad and kyle. Upping the handling and riding skills. Brad is an insane rider. He hits lines that are just crazy nuts and most people would vomit at. It's a lot of fun; really puts the fun back in riding - it's such a huge challenge.

Had a nast spill last night hit a rock bridge, slid off went into a ravine.. Major slippage and the bike came tumbling after.

well it's time for bed. took the night off of riding and just studied and relaxed... Good times eh boys?
