I took the XX out today for a little ride at my neighborhood Greenbelt today and took the opportunity to clean up the trails a bit with a pair of pruners. The bike rode awesome, shifted well, and I made it without crashing once..
Here are a few images. The first shot is at Silver Chair Hill. Seems someone over the Winter built a jumping ramp at the bottom of the hill. That’s cool.. I want to see someone else jump that thing before I try it.. The second shot is at the Retention Pond.

Nice knife.
Here are a few images I took on today’s ride at the Greenbelt near the house. This is at a natural retention pond that does not retain water year around. I know the wild hogs like to waller in it when it becomes a mud pit.
As I was riding, I rode upon a big deer laying down about 20ft from me shrouded by brush. I thought it was dead at first because surely it would have ran off before I got there. Then it jumped up and hauled ass through the woods.

You are right. Things are squirly in the woods. I am packing protection when i ride.

I pulled out the A2R today. Man.. I had forgotten how nice a Barracuda rides. I had been pilling around on my Schwinn Moab for the last couple of months, whenever weather allowed. But the A2R was such a delight, it has me motivated to hit the trails.

I wouldn’t know one rap from another but Tone did sample Jamie’s Crying from Van Halens first album for Wild Thing which is cool in my book. Here is a link to a clip of Wild Thing that i shot that night.

Actually.. I was experimenting with positions to counter a receding wiener situation.. But found I was wearing my cycle pants too tight.
