I am trapped here
Posted on July 21, 2008
I am trying to upload all kinds of photos and trying to write some new posts but the internet is spotty, its killing me.
Uploading 200kb photos is taking me about 5 minutes and i honestly don’t think my ADD can handle that.
I promise to write some reports on my mountain bike trips. The trails are endless and the climbing has been brutal. Average speeds are in the single digits and I am suffering. Yesterday I almost ate shit. I am riding the motocross paths and they have very deep gravel sections, maybe 4-5 inches deep, so even going downhill, pretty steep downhill sections, it is causing me to come to a complete stop and when i do manage to ride it out it is always going sideways… quite a trip. So I am going downhill laughing at myself and just waiting to eat the big one.
On the trail yesterday I had to get some racing in and represent the US. It was fun to ride away from the supposed big shots over here. I think there is some fear of wrecking your equipment, so they ride a it more conservative. You break your XT shifter over here and you are out $300 easily. I have seen guys selling their MARTHA brakes for $1000 and that is a bargain.
Today I have two things on my schedule. DENTIST and another trip to the trails, flatter this time around. I dont wat to go to the dentist, I hate the efer…. So, a little word of advice, brush your teeth when you are young and don’t break them skateboarding, eating hard bread and snowboarding… great advice, take it!
