Well it might look like I’ve been slacking lately, but it’s quite the opposite. My companies contract got extended, so the 80 mile roundtrip commutes continue. At least the money they *hopefully* will be giving me to cover some of the gas will end up just about covering all the money I spent fixing the car, with possibly an extra $200 to put into the rear brakes that have 5% life left…

Last week I did some riding, I want to say I rode Colt’s Neck and Wakefield, but I can’t remember. I know I got in one quick lap of the race course at Wakefield before the MORE Board of Directors meeting. 3 hours later, out of the meeting, had to put the tools back in the Wakefield tool cache and take all the new tools off of Scud’s hands and into the back of my car. Wise words from a previous Trail Boss…“You’re the Trail Boss, not Trail Bitch…make sure everyone knows that or else you’ll be burned out before the end of the first trail maitenance season.” Thanks for the advice Big L.

Saturday had me getting up super early. John-O and Spearmint dropped by the house and we all loaded up in Spearmint’s truck to make the trip up to the Frederick Watershed for SingleSpeedOutlaws Punk Bike Enduro.  I’ll be sure to get my pics and write-up sooner rather than later.

This week saw the first weekly Wednesday Night Ride at Colt’s Neck…soon to be the hottest ticket in town, ha.  Hopefully I can actually lead this thing week in, week out.  It’s dubbed as a MORE/City Bikes ride, of which I’m a member of both.  The ride went great, 6 people, no mechanicals, and Lee even taught me a new section of singletrack.  I knew it up to a point, but I never knew where it came out.  The section will now definitely be a part of our usual loop.  Ok, time to head home and see if I can crank out some PBE reportage…
