where did the summer go?

  So my pedal time this summer was pretty much non-existint . Except for the odd ride with my daughter in the buggy, there has been only crushed stone and no single track whats so every. And somehow i still managed to toast my frame.

 Somehow kicked up a massive rock of the front tire and put a serious dent in my downtube...  that didn't exactly motivate me. So my freeride bike is very limited in what i can do with it out of fear of it becoming a unicycle.

 So i've be kinda longing for simpiler times, where my bike was lighter and something that pulls my daughters buggy a little easier. so i ordered:



I'm gonna throw the components off my stinky (my 66, hadley hub, and various other parts) and give the old freeride hardtail a rip for a while.

 I'm actually getting pretty excited about riding, and possibily a late season trip to sugarloaf,

 Anyways thanks for listening to my diatribe. and sorry for not being around much the last year or so... now that my daughter is getting bigger, maybe next year we could organized a "Family ride day" at Victoria park in truro or something for us family folk who haul around presious cargo on rides :)

    Don't fret the loss of summer too much Ray. It always seems like that for me too, but then Fall opens up and I get plenty of riding in. I haven't been bringing the chariot to NB any time I go, but next trip I'll bring it along and maybe we can hit up Centennial Park.

    Indeed! I always think summers here are too damned hot anyway, fall is a much more comfortable time to ride, and no bugs, to boot.

    Ya now my 66 needs to go to get the rebound cartaridge replaced. But I might have a pike 454 coil lined up to hold me over.
