Friday I put this bike together and tried it at Ringwood. It's a little long in the top tube for me for this type of riding. Great LewMo bike, but it requires way too much body movement in the tech stuff to navigate ringwood. I have to constantly get out of the saddle for even small obstacles, I have like no leverage on the front cause it's long.

What a view!
Here's a cool shot. A woman leading "Andrew" and a guy aid climbing twilight zone.
@seanrunnette has done that one.
Then while climbing "Doublecrack" I met this awesome Russian dude. I can't figure out his name. I tried googling it. Sounds like Afghani but it starts with Yef. Yefghani I think, but I can't find a name that exists like that.
He's in the middle of leading a 5.9R and he stopped for pictures and took out a mustache comb and brushed his mustache first
Sunday I woke up with zero plans. So as per usual I just wound up in the Ryerson School lot to ride ringwood. The TOS lot was overflowing already, and look how many MTBers are in the high school parking lot. I always tell
@Norm that we need to do something to get attract these people to the board, because I don't know who any of these people are. With TOS completely packed, and this, I assume Lot C was packed too. And any of the other 894602862 parking lots for ringwood.
I didn't take crap for pictures, but I rolled for about 7 hours. Strava says 5.5 but we all learned on the kingdom trip that strava "is completely fucking useless"

When i was just about done I got a text from my wife asking when I'd be home with the car, I had taken the Saturn and she was going to the airport to get her mom and her mom's friend. Oops, so she had to go get them in the Mustang. 2 obese italians had to cram into a mustang. Sucks for them! haha.
I was hoping when I got home my wife wanted to go out for dinner and I could shove my face full of tortilla chips and freezing diet coke, but she wasn't home and I found a platter of chicken in the fridge that I think we were supposed to live on for a week, but instead I ate the whole thing. Then I ate a mountain of fruit with a can of whip cream. I couldn't stop, so I made one of those GU recovery drinks. That finally made me stop eating.
Watched the Rousey UFC fight.
This has become like the hayday of Tyson. It's almost comical to see who they throw in the ring with her. Nobody cane come even remotely close to touching her.
She used zero Judo in this fight. (she won a medal in the olympics for Judo in 2008) and went toe to toe with this kickboxer she was fighting. It's almost embarrassing to watch at this point. It's like she's fighting toddlers or something.
Then I couldn't sleep for shit all night. I kept waking up, so frustrating. I'm usually a good sleeper. I was up like every hour stirring around. Sucks. Still feel kinda shitty this morning.
