Two Wheel Blogs

Wow that went by in a hurry. Sunday night already! Two days is never enough for a weekend. Who ever it was who called a three-day weekend a long weekend was just plain wrong. I think three days is a bit on the short side of what a regular weekend should be. At only 2 days, this one didn't have nearly enough days in it. Here it is almost over and I'm just getting warmed up.

I rushed through Saturday's chores to head out on the road for some major sweating it up in the woods on Saturday afternoon. Unit and I stunk up the trails pretty good around Binder lake. The trails were dry as a bone, so dry I had to back off Unit's wheel by dozens of yards to let it settle. He kept slowing down to wait for me, but I'd just slow down more so I wouldn't have to breathe in so much dust.

Yeah, that's my story for why I wasn't keeping up with that maniac on his screaming Badger. That and the heat and the humidity. At ride time the temp in the truck read 101°, but it felt like 101.5° at least.

No question I was stinking it up out there. My leg's didn't find their rhythm util after about an hour's riding. By then however I was feeling pretty well worked over in my lower back, and the heat was taking it's toll. The good? Well the skills were there in fine form. I didn't break anything. When it's this hot in the woods, you gotta latch on to every little bit of goodness.
