Once Again I Will Say...

There are about 2.6 million things I should be doing other than posting a stupid blog post that no one read anyway, and if someone DOES read it, I find it hard to believe that they would not click off faster than a PornHub pop up (not that I would know). Yet I blog on....

I was looking at yesterday's post and was a little taken aback at how all over the place my writing seemed. Sorry, I was tired, and was still riding the high of a good weekend in the saddle.

What I did take away from the weekend was a couple/few points that I will share here:

1. I am STOKED that I once again felt at home and in mad, passionate, nugget tightening love with the Ti El Mariachi. I had (and am) been in love with that bike for some time, and I KNOW how damn fine it is, so to feel constipated on it (not sure what that means), was sad. Here it was just some jacked brakes, and saddle issues (I thought I made something right, but I made it wrong, THEN I FINALLY made it right again!!).

2. Hmmm.... I forgot what #2 was so forget it.

No ride today, as I was/am balls deep into trying to get XXC #12 out before the 4th of July weekend. I am pessimistically hopefully, and filled with more than a bit of doubt that will happen.

Later.

I think there's just something about riding a hard tail made of metal that connects you with the trail. I have a carbon Superfly that rocks, but recently have been riding the hell out of my aluminum 29er. I've never felt this way about a carbon vs. metal road bike, but something about riding on the dirt...I just enjoy the 'clinky' stuff better.

Endo, tell me about it. Eeesh, we get it, you want to make $2.99 a minute, leave me along.

Dave, I hear you. A Ti HT is the ULTIMATE HT bike (or steel), but even aluminum at times, can still help with that connection to the trail. That is why I usually shun FS bikes. Truth be told the Spearfish is the best FS bike I ever owned and the Ti HT is the best HT. Sometimes things work out. Some days you're right. Clinky is better!
