The number of bikes in the house recently climbed to five. It climbed one more this weekend. Roommate finally caved in and bought a mountain bike. It’s starting to look like a bike shop in here. As you can see, we’re big fans of self-propelled transportation.
We went for a ride at the Ant Hills. He came back with a small case of poison ivy and I was lucky enough to escape with only a scraped arm. The coolest part was the throng of 12-year-olds jumping ramps towards the back of the park. These kids are fearless. They plummet down steep natural ramps and fly off man-made jumps. Some of the jumps are ‘doubles’ - two jumps placed closely together with a gap in between so that you jump off the first and land down the second. Some of the ramps are twice the height of these kids. They might catch 10 feet of air. And they do it over and over again. I certainly don’t have the cajones to do that.

sometimes its a little depressing to have a house full of bikes and then realize how little time you actually ride them.
