Default RR: Back in the saddle...

Finally got back on my bike after a six + month hiatus. It's amazing what
you have to sacrifice with a pregnant wife and a newborn.

Anyway, did my local ride (Aliso-Wood Canyon), down Rock-It, across on
Coyote and up Mathis. While you never forget how to ride a bike, it's
amazing how your skills deteriorate. My front tire was all over the place,
I couldn't hold a good line to save my life. Coming up Mathis I had to stop
a few times to douse the fire in my burning legs and lungs.

Back at the trail head, I checked my time. Twenty minutes longer than my
average a year ago. You would think I would be disappointed. Not at all,
one of my best rides ever. Just to feel the crunch of dirt under my tires,
to hear the familiar sounds of my bike going through swooping singletrack,
to smell the fresh air (for So. Cal) and the sweat stinging my eyes. This
is what it is all about.

Have you seen those Kiwi sheep? I bet they would have been allowed into
Saudi Arabia. ;-)
