Night ride'n in Jan
Last night we did a night ride since there was no riding at the bmx track. It was a beautiful night to take a ride since it was 50 degrees in January and there was crap on TV. The ride brought out many of the local crazy people that we haven't seen for a while or at least some that I haven't seen for a while. We got there and had to wait for a few as they ventured up from Waterford and Burlington so we cut them a break. Once we got the crew rolling it went pretty good even though Russell was leading the ride. He put a few pauses on a slight incline or on in a turn to mess everyone else's rhythm up but that is a Russell move. We were moving along and The Boy was putting the moves on the Goat and keeping at Bay and then we had to take a break so Donny could fix a flat and the Goat got a chance to catch his breath. The Goat then just got into the single track that Bubba just put in ahead of The Boy and a stick jumped up and ripped off his derailleur. That was just what I needed as he was riding Cece's mtn bike so I could see how the size was as I need to pick up a new frame or bike for him this year. We stopped and then took the derailleur off removed a few links and made it into a single speed so The Boy could finish the ride. Thanks to Donny and Rick for the help in the woods. Oh yea and the rest for waiting. That meant that the bike wasn't the same for The Boy and the Goat got a break, next time he will be bust'n him up. Well The Boy will dust the Goat at the bmx track and get even there first and then the next ride. The trails were in good shape considering the rain we got and well worth the trip for the ride. I got home and was able to get the hanger off a spare bike and got Cece's mtn bike fixed up it is ready for the next ride. See you at the Sat road ride. Back to work. Later..

Another 3 or 4 years and the Boy will really be putting the major hurt on all of us.
Word, I'm thinking 2 or 3 the way he is going.
