notes.
holy crap i'm sore. do a little digging in the yard and i'm limping around like an idiot. i'm sore in places that don't make sense, though. hmmmmm.
as some of you know i'm in the market for a new mtb this fall/winter. but the thought of spending near $3000 on a bike is making me ill. especially considering that my focus next year will still probably not be on the mtb. i've been putting some thought into getting my hard tail straight with a new fox fork (my rock shox is dead) and looking at a seat post system (thudbuster) for the long mtb races/rides (12/24) to help my back a little. i figure i can do that for $600 rather than $3000 and maybe even buy a cross bike for, well, cross racing and commuting and winter riding. that way, the rocket gets a little less of the wear and tear in harsh conditions. a new xo1 or poprad is around $1100 depending on where you look. that puts me at 1700 for an upgraded mtb and a new cross bike. any thoughts???
moral of the story is that bikes are damn expensive. damn. damn damn.
ron and i are going to ride the military ridge trail on the mtbs tonight. try to get a couple hours of endurance work in. then time trials on wednesday (i think it's the last one of the year).
