I managed to get Mark and Curtis back out to ride some single track. I also got CJ to join us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We met at the solar panels, CJ was running late. So the rest of us did a couple loops before going back to meet up with him. There were two others out there, I hadn’t ridden with them in a few years. We all headed off once CJ was ready. Riding the usual loop out toward old buckman road. Before we got to the one spot that I often struggle with, I talked the other four into splitting off from David and his buddy. They were riding much faster then the rest of us. I really wasn’t up to trying to keep up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We rode some different tracks this time that took us to the river. It’s been many years since I’ve seen that much water in the Rio Grande<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned a lesson that day… Never make smartazz comments about anyone’s maintenance of their bikes. I had my rad guard and radiator come loose. I had to secure it with a bunch of zip ties. It held up great for the rest of the ride, but I did try to take it easy and not fall over. That of course back fired on me. I fell over about 4x after that. One of them was an endo going down a hill. I managed to avoid injury which was nice since I already had messed up my knee just two weeks ago. It was still pretty sore, but the braces did a great job of protecting it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stole a few of Curtis pictures….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
