Ah, yes, I did read that; it slipped right out of my goldfish brain. I’m the ride-up-the-trail type as well. No takers wanting to "donate" a mountain bike to the cause, eh?

Speaking of variety in riding, how the fat cyclist rarely mentions riding fat tires?

I was sorely tempted to buy a pair of tartan bibshorts in a Glasgow cycle emporium a while ago. I got cold feet when the assistant whispered "If you wear those, you BETTER be sure you win!"As a matter of interest, which tartan is your kilt..?

paul – weird how it works that way, isn’t it? you find a trail or road you like and start doing it all the time. then it becomes boring and you wonder why it’s no fun anymore. just watch: if you leave that trail alone for a few weeks and then come back to it, you’ll find you love it again.

Thanks for Tip # 2. Talk about reading a blog at the right time. I have felt extremely burned out the past 10 days. Of course I have been riding the same bike, same trails, etc for the last four weeks. So I picked some different trails and perked right up. I am heading out now for a trail I have never ridden. Thanks again.

well, my neighbors have lodged complaints about the traditional kilt, bagpipes, and trainer thing. to accomodate them, i’m considering no longer setting up my trainer at the front of my driveway and playing/riding at 6:00am.i’m the best neighbor ever.

PS: Incidentally, is anyone else deeply disturbed by a ‘traditionally’ kilted man on a trainer?

dug, egad…somehow I had you pegged for a clarinet… Anyway, I didn’t say have the piece memorized, no wonder it didn’t work out; I can’t make it half way through the first movement before I totally forget what I’m doing and decide to go do jell-o shots instead (don’t you just hate it when you get jell-o shots in your keypads? kidding…). fatty, the sad thing is that I have actually tried to play while on the trainer… eh heh… mixed results. I’m going to start a spinning symphonic orchestra. Any takers? Now, having exposed my music dorkiness, my work here is done.
