my bout with fatigue is fading,i guess maybe i just need to make sure i'm always eating, not that i wasn't but it just makes for a better body. yesterday tim and i fixed up the wtb, new cranks and it works better than it has in years. the ride the other night with the guys on their fancy double-boingers made me realize that my bike is just fine, sure a new fork would be great but the article our "journalist" wrote nipped that in the bud. my old fork is fine and i have a heavy little rigid fork waiting in the wings for when i want to go full wood. blair witch loop last night out in the elk habitat, no wildlife but the trail is midsummer-dry. a bit scary but we are 100 years into a 50 year burn cycle. maybe this will be the year? enjoy it while you can. the bike and body just clicked, two hours of singletrack with the long climb over the ridge to get home. happy to suffer up the climb, focused on the next little rootlip. i love this stuff, we rode through the section where i almost got shot last fall, this time not gliding through 10 cm of fresh snow but a dry, rolling, terracotta ribbon through the woods. i even made the seesaw. good day.
