Today was pretty cool, Evan Travis and I did a great ride on cross bikes. We rode some dirt roads and singletrack and regular roads with about 5 flats between the three of us. County Road 3 was really fun, the singletrack was fun too, but we flatted there so it wasn't as good. It felt great to be on the bike, just like home! I still need to run through the gears and soap it up a bit too. I really missed riding the IF, checkout ifbikes.com are the nicest bikes especially if you actually ride them, as in get your ass off the couch and get out in the dirt and really hit it. Singletrack on a cross bike is really fun if you can ride a straight line and follow the contours. The views were great out on the trail, nothing to be seen but rolling hills and some clouds that looked pretty cool. Sometimes you need to get out in the middle of nowhere to appreciate how good you have it. I hope Joel keeps winning his clydesdale races, I really like to hear about the courses and races, they really have a great system there and seem to supply a great service to their racers. In the results there is a link to a photo of the racer in action! Pretty sweet system! Beckham was fun this afternoon, we played and took number 1 for a swim in the creek, it was really hot today (80 degrees) so Jackson really needed a swim. The last hour has been steady thunder and lightning and thunder, all while we are watching Shark Week! The program on right now is Anatomy of a Shark Bite really cool footage of shark attacks and recreations of attacks. I wonder what Tim did today after the race...
