Getting Old Versus Not Getting Muddy
Minneapolis and much of the rest of the state got pounded with a bunch of rain in the wee hours of the morning today. Two inches out at the airport they say. That's a bunch of liquid sky.
The timing really couldn't be better as I got three off-road morning rides in on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and needed a day off today anyway. My hope is that the rain stops shortly and a slight breeze starts blowing to make trail conditions perfect.
The days of mud riding for me stopped a few years ago. Some might argue that this is a sign that I'm GETTING OLD, but I prefer to think that it might be a sign that I'm GETTING SMARTER. Of course GETTING SMARTER might be another way of saying that I'm GETTING OLD or at least OLDER.
Ah, those carefree days of my youth when the sloppiest days on the trail were no excuse. But at some point I really just had my fill of cleaning muck off of my bike, getting the drivetrain cleaned and lubed back up again. Frankly, it is just so much simpler to stay out of the crud, even if means riding some pavement for a while.
Anyway, my fingers are crossed for the drizzle to stop and the sun to peak out with a nice gentle breeze. I'm hoping for nice and tacky trails tomorrow morning for a few hours of dirt-enhanced fun.
Enjoy your weekend. -Kid
