another day

hey, i'm feeling better today than i have in quite awhile! my back is a bit sore but i'm only experience "mild" abdominal pain today.

what a ride last night! it was good to see some old faces especially that of the fireman's. i still have a lot of fun out at maybury. and yes, the niner, or cheater bike as it's now lovingly termed, handles beautifully out there. what an awesome bike. i've fallen hopelessly in love with her. although my old back is not used to riding the hardtail again. i'm so careless with lines on that thing. roots, i'll hit 'em. rocks? what rocks. it rolls over everything but all that extra shock gets transmitted straight to my lower back. i've quit doing abdominal work since my pain started. it seems to aggrivate it. that definitely is contributing to my back problems. i just need to learn to be smoother on that thing but it's so tempting to just blast over everything on the trail!

after sunday's debauchery, i took it easy last night and limited myself to only one pint. and a tasty pint it was. hopefully, i'll be primed and ready to go this weekend...after the cheater bike gets a thorough cleaning and tune-up!
