Knife to a Gun Fight
Went up to Nesquehoning for some dirt bike riding today. Yes. That’s my under-powered, under-suspended 35 year old bike in the middle of the modern day trail behemoths. Despite the technological differences, I actually did pretty well I think. Would I do it again? Yes. Should I? Probably not. The suspension was the biggest limiting […]

Got out for a quick local dirt bike ride. It was wet and slippery in the woods on the leaves, roots and rocks, so I stuck to the dirt in the field. You can only go around in circles by yourself for so long. Hoping for dryer rides soon. – b

The cushions were probably the most realistic thing they tried with the skis on. They were slippery and awkward like real snow. But […]
Halloween 2015
Went out to a different neighborhood with different friends this year. Pretty sure we’ll be going back next year. – b
