Just as I was leaving the office today, the sky opened up and poured rain. I drove to Stony Creek anyhow. By the time I got to the trailhead, the rain was just a trickle, and the trail was nice and sloppy.
I have gotten so used to bikes with fenders, I forgot how nasty things get without them.
I also forgot to bring bike shoes, so I just rode in my “fancy office shoes.” They ended up a lot less fancy.
I decided that I was already a mess, so I tried to hit every puddle I came to.
I had a blast. The Monkey is very a fun bike. Bouncing over rocks and roots and splashing mud all over the place is awesome.
Today: 12 miles (wild-ass guess)
June: 61 miles
2007: 551.5 miles
That last pic has me laughing out loud. We all can relate to taking a new toy and playing in the mud. Did you get yelled at when you went walking in the house? Glad the new ride is appropriately broken in.
Brandi was working late last night, so I managed to hide the evidence before she got home.
I just got a new one also, same color. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. As a single-speed it’s the most fun I’ve ever had with my pants on.
