I was just feelin' FLAT as a pancake all weekend with no energy to ride fast. I finally broke through last night with a hard effort, personal best on my local loop. Everything fell into place...legs, lungs, no mechanicals.....and if that damn RIG isn't the most fun 2-wheeler to ride, I don't know what is. I mean sh*t - this is the least expensive mountain bike I have owned in 15 years, and it is by far my favorite ride. I guess that is a testament to American engineering, Taiwan labor, and volume manufacturing. I would prefer to purchase an American designed/made bike, but I can only afford to do that with my geared MTB and the roadie.

Got a cool rest of the week - Little Squirty B comes over after school today for a couple of days and a 1/2 day Friday, and then a nice weekend with D.....We're headin to Minnesota soon, so that is comin' round the corner.

The jury is still out on this, this, and this. Life is short - so I'm gonna try to do at least 2 out of 3.
