THREE HOURS OF XC LOVE
Today was my last chance for a big XC ride, at least for a while. I took The Wife to breakfast, assembled an infant car seat then met some dudes at Heil Ranch. We climbed then descended, climbed then descended. The climbing felt good — comfortable and strong. The descending — well — BRAAAP! The book is done for now, and we’re pretty much ready for the kids. What a treat to let it all go for a few hours: railing turns, pumping rocks, seeking good lines but riding whatever appeared in front of me.
Whoa that’s a big rock! Might as well go straight over it.

Lee, this post belongs in Life with a capital L or Parenthood with a capital P.
Dude, my 16 year old daughter has taught us sooooo much this past year.
“Whoa that’s a big rock! Might as well go straight over it.” that’s pretty much Nicole’s attitude these days! super cool watching her grow up and being a part of the process.
good luck to you and your wife!

Thanks brother. We are all set for tomorrow’s “extraction.”
Things are about to get interesting.
