Thats why I ride

Interesting title, but very apt. Beautiful day yesterday, about 15 degrees (60 in old money?), sun shining and I knew that my knee couldn't hold onto the run. So, a call from a friend, and an impromtu MTB ride on the local trails. Both of us commenting how great it is to get out, how we have been spending too much time on the road bike, and a few twitchy moments regarding technical skills. But, what a great ride. Smooth, flowing singletrack with a few exposed roots to keep you honest. No bugs, just a few people (scouts) in the forest along with me and John. Sweet, sweet, singletrack, why have I left you so long?
Here's to more sneaky trails.

Just caught up with your posts and I hope you knee is feeling a little better. I bet it was because Bubs drove you too hard on your "first ever grown up bike ride with your boy" Now those times he will remember, like you, not the bad ones and yes, you're right, there will be a few. Oh the tapestry of life. Love you guys.
