Day light saving


It's that time again a man made measure that has such an effect on you is just amazing. The First Monday just gone i woke and did exactly the same things Ive done all winter . Walked the dogs then made breakfast. It felt so different. It was like something was about to happen I felt like a kid on their birthday morning expectant and excited. It hasn't gone yet . Suddenly the sun is hotter the days longer and more full.
Here it is 5.30 in the afternoon sun streaming into the room and what am I doing typing. Shit I'm off for a ride don't want to waste time now do i.

How far can you ride this.



Ive just in the last week got my Surly Pugsley bike. It is something else.
Just learning to ride it has been a blast. You cant attack anything especially hills!!!. Dial up a gear sit down and grind away.
What surprised me is that it isn't that much slower than my single speed go figure.
Made my way up the knob and down my usual trails it just goes.

Now I'm thinking how far can I go on this baby. I pulled out of the Brevet later in the summer because of over commitment but now I'm looking for something to do on this fatty .
I did three laps of the loop on it with the dogs today and it was no problem at all. So the planning starts I want 7 to 8 days self supported summer adventure. So time to hit google earth watch this space.
