A Quick Escape

Since I turned out the work I wanted yesterday AND got some additional rest in the meat sticks I wanted to try to do the most I could, what what I have, when I could. So after B-Man went to school, I chamoised up and headed up to the mountain to play.

It was so perfect out today, it made for an incredible day on the mountain. Sun, nice temps, low humidity, and time in the saddle. Perfect. I didn't do all my normal stuff, didn't want to push the time thing, I mean I did NOT want to be dealing with any major mechanicals, and be miles from the car with a B-Man to pick up later in the day at school. THAT would NOT win me any Dad Of The Year awards anytime soon.

I did explore a forest road and a trail that I've been wanting to check out and got some info to file away in the Dirt Ride Spank-Bank. I still ended up with a just a hair under 3 hours in the saddle when I made it back to the xB. It was a good time, but I have to admit I felt a little guilty. The boy was in school, Wifey was a work, and I'm out riding my bike for 3 hours in the woods. I look forward to doing it again though, I didn't feel THAT guilty. Hey, I do stuff!! ;)

Once home it was a quick snack, shower and B-Man pick up. Now it's time to make some real grub, I'm about ready to eat my hand.

Later.
