When "Good" Is Good Enough...

I didn't have much on tap today. It was my fist day on the bike since the 101 and I just wanted a short and sweet ride in the dirt. That was easy enough. The trails were in pretty good/not bad condition and the legs felt pretty good. I had no interest in a long ride though. Just something to remind my legs of their purpose. Done.

I have to admit it was hard getting too into the ride, or even TOO into blogging about a ride after I read the news over on FatCyclist.com. The news is sad. I admitted to Wifey earlier that in the past year I hardly ever read Elden's blog. Not because I thought he and his blog weren't funny, poignant, and filled with purpose, but because I wasn't emotionally strong enough to read about how strong he and Susan were. I had gone through a lot of similar things with my mother and her M.S. as I was growing up. I couldn't read it. But I checked in now and again to see how things were. I was saddened today to learn of Susan's passing. My heart goes out to Fatty and his family. I can only hope that his words and Susan's strength through this illness has brought to light the horror that is Cancer.

And on that note I say good night. Time to think about things beyond the bike and thank God for the distraction that is life on two wheels.

Later.
