I can't believe it's been so long since my last post......you can't either. Anyways, the Blue Hills opened two weeks ago, the sun's been out for over a week now, the early-season aches and pains are gone, I replaced that ugly big red tire on my front wheel with my (current)favorite, the Hutchinson Scorpion Tubeless 2.3UST. I just happened to have 2 of them, so I replaced my (former) favorite rear tire the Michy XCR AT 2.0 UST with the newer of the two. I'm likin' it! fairly low psi, @ 25-30 haven't exactly dialed it yet. But the bike is right where I want it this year. Really don't need to upgrade or replace any parts except the front derailleur which all the pivots are rattlin' but it still works. 'nuff said.
Now being the end of April, Blue Hills Mountain Bike Day is right upon us, in three weeks! Winter was long! I gotta get in shape! I spent almost 4 months of my life either not exercising at all, or very little.
My excuses as follows:
December: Holidays!
January and February: my littlest toe hurts when I ride in temps less than 40F
March: I had full-blown pneumonia and high fever that left me in bed for a week. My son had the same as soon as I was up again, my daughter had strep, and wife had sinus infections...
This week, however I got four days of riding in a row, and am feeling pretty good about that. No, I didn't forget how to ride a bike. But in the thick of it all, I really thought I might. Winter WAS depressing, but now it's over. Time to RIDE!
