Old Friend

Today I took a ride with an old friend, my Dos Niner.

You see, I sent it to Colorado for my family reunion back in July. When I returned, I moved, broke my arm, went back home for a funeral, and went to both Eurobike and Interbike. I just never got a chance to fully assemble the Dos after my brother sent it back to me in August.

While the Dos was in pieces, I've been riding my El Mariachi. However, my arm is still hurting quite a bit so I decided I better start riding my bike that has the most squish on it. I left the house just before 6:00AM for the 2 mile ride to the trailhead. Ahhhh. I've missed riding my Dos Niner. It is so smooth and I had a blast riding in the perfect fall conditions.

The Dos was the only bike I rode last year. It was my trusted friend until I started riding the prototype El Mariachi's last year. I still took the Dos on my big trips and long rides as it just so comfortable and fast. Today, after over 3 months off the Dos, I again realized why I love this bike and trust it on all my trips and long rides. Light. Smooth. Fast. Stable. Nimble. I love this bike.

Thank you old friend.
