Been too long since I've done something hardcore. While not that hardcore, this will do. Only like the second or third ride of 2010. Sad, but true. Made it to Takoma Metro to see that the trains were running. Mr. Station Master put the kibosh on my taking the train with my rig, so I said Damn The Man and just rode on in. It was worth it. A slight cough persists, but otherwise it was a good ride. Something I should be doing more of...maybe it's the constant skipping of my gears and odd creaks that my MTB emits. If only there was room in the FY2011 budget for a couple new bikes, or at least an overhaul on both of my functioning bikes. Alas, we make room for baby. Can't wait to strap on the buggy someday.
