first dirt of '09!

after a casual cruise on the bike path the other day w/ the family (so much fun watching my 8-yo daughter ride her 24" mtn bike), i ventured up to matthews/winters to get some time on the dirt while the weather was cooperative (turns out michelle was out there, too, though we didn't run into each other).

took out the ti lite '96'er—now running the ergon grips—and had a great time (short but sweet). bike climbs like a goat, though i need to put the QR seat collar back on that frame, as i'd like the option to drop the saddle when necessary– like coming down the backside of morrison slide (almost the first OTB of the year). ;-)

distance 4.98 • time :55 • average 5.3
(now playing: dixie chicks)
