I'm pretty sure I will not be sore tomorrow.

I read about a Scottland mountain bike tour awhile ago...hmmmm...

You know, I've never been an athlete or anything and have never really even been in that great of shape, I just started riding bike a few years ago and built up the miles. It always ends up seeming like when I do a little trip like that it turns into a personal quest to see how much, how fast, how far...fuck the sight seeing, fuck having a good time, fuck relaxing, just ride and push as far as I can go. But being that I always go alone I don't even have anyone to pace me or anything. I don't usually make reservations, I just let luck and my cell phone kinda work for me.

I'm kind of the same way. I thought when I was competing with the horses I wanted a ride companion, but it turned out I liked going solo and trying to beat my own record or push me and my horses limit for something new.

It's funny, I have that need to wander, somewhere I have a hobo gene in my DNA or some shit like that. I wanna just walk the earth. But that pesky job and house, and cars, and responsibility and shit always seem to get in my way.
Damnit, you know what sucks? Back when I was about 20 years old, I had the time (kinda), I had the money, I just didn't know that I wanted to be a hobo.

I hear ya. When my divorce was going on I swore to my friend Page that when this was all over I was going to take my motorcycle, alone, across the country and pick a place to live. Stupid Matt came along in the middle of that mess and I never considered the dogs, cats and other things until he pointed that out to me.

Fucking reasonable people ruin everything.

I know, if not for my medical plan I would be so outta here. Walking the earth, like Kung Fu.

Yet instead of being Grasshopper......due to those damned responsibilities you are more Weedwhacker!

Now there's a nice bike. But... it has no pedals! Is that the name of the bike model? Salsa Fargo? Who makes it? Got a link to where I can buy one? Manufacturer? It doesn't have the shocks on the front fork like the purple one you showed me. I printed the specs out off the manufacturer's page on that one.

Salsa is the maker, Fargo is the model, 29er, drop bar, no suspension, disc brake, all terrain, touring bike.

I think I really need the shock absorbers. I will investigate this purdy bike farther though.

Yesterday was a wash. Having the brakes go on the truck left me with no bike browsing.
