So this morning started out rainy , but it cleared shortly after getting to work. I drove and brought my Mt Bike. a co-worker rob , was getting an enduro_sl to demo today and said I'd join him for a lunch ride. we met over at chauncy pond at noon.

we met up and road arounf over to little chaucy pound , where as is the case the Water was going over the rode, well you always could just ride up the side with no problem.

However It has been 2 years since I rode here. and the water as done some serious Erosion to the rode. yes it got deep !! and fast!!! Yes I had wet shoes after this was done !

Whee, fun ride as usual...I want my big bike back though, it almost hurts to just sit and watch these guys hit a lot of this stuff knowing that my current rig isn't up to the challenge.

The BB has me more concerned then the Hubs , but it is a X-type with cartridge bearings as well. but not that Much.

Dave

Is that possible?

J/k Dave, you get a free pass to be as much of an ass as you please and if anybody has a problem with that, just have them see Dan.

Oops - I just had a long post set to go and something went wrong - time to start over. Anyways - another super ride. Sorry John that I only have a photo of you taking a photo - you need to slow down and get off the lead! Dave - you still kicked ass on the bike - hopefully whatever has you down will get resolved soon.
