I went mountain biking this week.  I literally needed to dust off the ol' bike before riding since it has been almost a year since I've ridden it.  The skinny tire bikes have been pulling the majority of the duty.  But it has sparked something in me and served as a test.  I can ride to the trails and spin through the loop once and take that other that other short loop and ride home in an hour flat clocking in just over 11 miles.  Fun. 

I have been itching to gather friends who ride bikes and throw down on a ride that hits all of the dirt in the Burlington metro area with fun beer/skill stops and this was the test of about 1/3 of the loop.  Now to start stringing them together.
