didn't think i'd get out today, but chris called from boulder and wanted to bring sophie down for a play date and suggested we go for a ride. works for me (see how easy that is?).
ankle was actually bothering me more than it has lately, but figured it would be good to get out and spin and get some blood flowin' down there. chris brought a friend, mike, and after a bit of discussion we ended up at MW. lately i've been doing the RR —> MW —> DR loop which doesn't include the upper part of matthews/winters. wow, forgot how technical parts of that trail are, w/ the jaggedy rocks and all and the tight/steep switchbacks. i was a bit hesitant, as the last thing i want to do is jack the ankle up more w/ an unplanned dismount in the rocks, but in the end it was a nice ride on a nice sunny afternoon w/ a couple of guys who don't really ride; 'tis good to help "spread the stoke".
afterwards i decided to take apart the tracer in the front lawn while the kids played outside. bike needs some attention, what w/ all of the washing it gets as well as the abuse from the last trip to moab. no time to finish tonight, but i'll get 'er all lubed up and adjusted properly, and while i'm at it probably revert back to a 32t ring instead of a 36t. also need to buy a single spoke. ;-)
