October Off

After a lot of riding this summer, I decided to take October a bit slow and not ride as much. The body was asking for a reprieve and I decided to play some b-ball instead. C has been playing as well, dropping it like its hot - just like Trickle did at the middle school gym in SA. I'll be back on the bike soon.

On the horizon, a possible trip to AZ for a ride around Tucson with the Hogg. I am eagerly awaiting the results of his ride this weekend. What really got the conversation started was JD's blog stating "just need Beecher to sit behind on this one..." Hey, I am game. Christine got all excited when I mentioned that I'd love to be there to pull. Not only to ride with my friend but to seek some clear weather and feel the sun's rays on my skin. Just thinking of it reminds me of Red's words in Shawshank Redemption at the end when he goes to cross the border..."I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope."

I hope JD's ride goes well and we work out the plan.
