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.
