Go Ride your bike!

We have been treated with absolutely beautiful weather here in KC since I got back from Colo....oh sure, there's still snow on the ground and it's a melting mess in some areas, but just getting out on the bike for a couple hours and NOT freezing my backside off yesterday was awesome. I explored some new areas on the skinny, which also included some nice climbs that, combined with the fact that they hit you over and over, flat out zap the legs.
The trip out to Colo for work was good. For the service manager that has been at it for years, the info. may have been old news, but for a greenhorn like me, there was some good info. I can take back with me and put to good use. There was really no time to get out and explore the surrounding hills, which was unfortunate. Though meandering through the snow at 6am in -5 degree weather didn't get me motivated to do so at all. Rested the body,at a mile high no less, and was chomping at the bit to get back on the bike yesterday after getting back late Friday night.
As promised, the One9 is completely torn apart awaiting some new additions which will (I hope) take her to sub 21#. No rush at this point. The trails are an absolute mess, and the skinny is doing the job ......for now. I'm sure in another couple weeks I'll be fed up with my existence as a converted roadie and welcome some loose soil under my tires.

Hellow Justin.... how about listing on your profile a description of who you are and what you do so the first time viewer has an overview of what you are doing, ie, regional, state and national competitions you've participated in.. Marci said you were #1 in Texas in your age group... which is way cool... would love to see it! I say we all meet in Sedona in October... Love you, Lynn Fritz
