It's been a while since the mountain-biking stars aligned for me. Yesterday, I had the time to ride on a day when the trails were dry and the weather was warm. But it was a funny kind of ride, coming in bits and pieces.
During the first 10-minute loop, it became obvious my seat height had been changed by my friend when he borrowed my bike the evening prior. So I swung back by the car to grab a wrench and make the adjustment.
Wrench in pocket (just in case it still wasn't right), I started off again. As I moved from smoother to rougher terrain, it became obvious my shocks had been adjusted as well. I could barely feel any compression happening in my rear shock. Blech. And then I realized the front shock wasn't compressing, either!
So I swung back by the car to grab my shock pump and make more adjustments, only to find that my friend hadn't returned it to my bag. *sigh* Well, what with me being old and spoiled by all that suspension, I darned near called it quits right there. And then I decided, no, I'd get some kind of ride in, by golly.
Evidently, the universe agreed, because it gave me this sight to lift my spirits.
