Rocket Man

Last night I was fast. I was smooth and had skills. Just the right amount of brake with perfect little slides here and there. The hills were easy. The trails were mine.

Ok. Now with a little less exuberance.

Last nights ride was fun. I rode with Gretchen, Sean and his dog. It was the same old trail I've been riding over and over again, but last night was as close as I've been to what a "Wednesday Night Ride" used to feel like in a long time.

Granted Sean was a little under the weather and taking his time with Yoshi, but Gretchen and I were all fired up. She was racing me through the twisties - cutting the corners tight and pulling out in front.

I had forgotten how much fun riding could be.
