Thursday I sprung for a new rear wheel because:
I busted up the one that came with the frame; had it repaired, and broke it again
The spokes to rebuild my "good" wheel, which were supposed to be in stock, were not, so I was shipped a box of nipples only
My "way old" spare wheel with the flat spot rhyno lite and sticky XT freehub was, well, it was what I was running. The freehub actually sounded much better after about 40 miles.
SO all of the above, plus I was told the new one was Dope AF (which it is,) and I rarely spring for anything nice for myself. Gotta do that more.... Took it for the first spin on Friday and... it spins. NICE.

Saturday it was later in the afternoon, and the kids were into Mater's Tall Tales, or Star Wars Rebels, or some sh!t. Christine looked at me and said "it's not getting any warmer" and just like that I was out the door. It was chilly. I found an old road along the river behind some Green Acres land that led me right to, and under, the Rt27 bridge to NB. No access to the road from under the bridge, so I had to ride back the way I came, oh well.
Hit up RUEP for some quick dirt, then roaded back the not so scenic route just in time for dinner. Well, actually 5 mins late.

Sunday Funday, Cold as a Titch's Wit. Somehow I managed to forget my pack, but not my bike, helmet, or gloves. Also somehow the bottled water I left in my truck was not solid either. So I stayed relatively close, and made a few trips back to the truck for refreshments. Those that had gone before, and Mother Nature, had whipped the Allaire trails into a frenzy of goodness that shall not be repeated until today. There may be more scenic, gnarlier, whathaveyou trails but if I could have rated this 4.5 I would have. It's that good. Miles and miles of smiles.
