Wednesday Ride

I got out today to play at Pinehill on the Pugsley.  It was fun to visit with my friend Doug the resident mechanic and only employee of the Pinehill bike shop.  I let him tool around on the Pug prior to setting out on my own loop of my favorite trails there.  He came back grinning, but is still thoroughly engrossed in the DH scene at Killington.  He wants to ride the Pug out on the trails to see if he thinks it will amuse him.  Could he become a possible convert...  only time will tell!  Back to my adventure.  I pedaled my ass off, not really, but you understand.  I really must insist that the bike should be called the Slugsley.  Man that thing is a pig on the climbs.  I did clean quite a few areas I hadn't been able to in the past, which was phenomenally awesome by the way.  I really was stoked to be out riding.  It wasn't till I was halfway home in the car when I realized my face hurt from smiling so much.  I do believe it was the most fun I've had in a long while.  I know that this zen will last for a couple of days and I'm damn happy it will.  At some point I'll have to invest in a camera for taking picture while I'm out riding.  I absolutely had a blast today.  It rained pretty hard yesterday at times and there were quite a few mud holes that I flew through, the flotation was great and the traction was great as well.  Rolled over everything and slung mud better than the best of them too!
