Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

-

Just like Frog and Toad were friends, my mountain bike and I are friends. And since "more" if often better, 5 of us and our friendly bikes decided to ride around at Snow Summit all day yesterday.

It was a gravity day and we rode the lift up all day for a total of 7 runs. So in 8 hours of riding and such we got in 7 downhill runs for a total of about 28 miles!

Myself, I was able to hit this huge log ride the first time and not crash. I also jumped a few downed trees that only one other person in our group did. Me and this other guy were also the only ones who never really crashed.

And I was given a job offer to work at a bike shop part time while on this ride.

The housekeeper said today I look like a gangster or mafioso. Do you agree? So I posted on FB a picture of my agility ladder and talked about how I use it for training for shooting. Most people kind of questioned it or dismissed it outright. Then I see a famous person posts a video of him today on FB using one and everyone thinks it's a great new idea. This actually makes me kinda angry. I don't like being dismissed or marginalized because my thoughts and ideas come from me, and not from someone "famous". Cause you know what, he isn't any better or smarter than I am. In any way. And just like MM93 grew up to take down VR46 I'm gonna do the same to all those who are at the top right now. Everyone is gonna know it and see it. Then there will be no doubting.
