'this one' was a link, not a reference to this one, the one you are writing. I'm a bit slow this evening. I'm going to bed.

You woke up at 2 am on Tuesday Morning and were unable to get back to sleep because you had on your mind what you did on Tuesday afternoon? I'm suddenly really confused. What did you wake up to write about. I want to hear it.

Hmmm, maybe if I switched to tubeless... @MattC – thanks for the post, I would LOVE to take that ride!!

I've found bikes are a negative-energy conduit, shorting all the bad vibes to earth-ground (where it's then recycled into Kenny G music, which then gives rise to more negative energy)...it's mother-nature's version of perpetual motion. And hey...I recall Fatty showing us a video of one of his mt bike rides (long ago?) that had some pretty crazy looking drops if you mess up...well, watch THIS video...sheesh...way above my bravery- level (at their speed anyway)...yee-haw! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=Xr5FGOKY3RM Ahhhhh…something about the life-sucking job making you tired the moment you show up (reminds me of a sign I saw LONG ago in a workspace: “If you’ve never seen the dead come back to life, you should be around here at quitting time”).
