Latest mountain bike news

Yeah, I chickened out this weekend. I mean, I had every intention of going down to Macon Saturday to the SORBA mountain bike weekend but then they said the white stuff was coming and I got scared. I'm so embarassed.

I'm even more embarassed after reading about <a href="http://arcticglass.blogspot.com/2008/01/i-dont-really-have-to-quit-yet-do-i.html">Jill's weekend ride</a> up in <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/php/database.php?terms=name&state_id=1">Alaska</a>: More than 5 hours in the saddle in 23 degree weather. Pretty sad that I wimped on a ride down here in Georgia while she was able to make it outside in Alaska. Unbelievable.

And yes, for the record I did write just a few weeks back that <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/blog/?p=617">mountain biking in the winter</a> is indeed possible, no matter the conditions. Heck, I even <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/blog/?p=638">made it out on New Year's day</a>, though I haven't been out since :(

So my new rule is no excuses about mountain biking EXCEPT for rain. Not that getting wet is unbearable but it's bad for the trails ya know ;) For the record though, the white stuff did indeed come to Atlanta (about 2 inches in my part of town) and Macon got a mix of rain and snow. Still, wimping out never feels good, even on a technicality.

Heck, I even <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/blog/?p=638">made it out on New Year's day</a>, though I haven't been out since :(

So my new rule is no excuses about mountain biking EXCEPT for rain. Not that getting wet is unbearable but it's bad for the trails ya know ;) For the record though, the white stuff did indeed come to Atlanta (about 2 inches in my part of town) and Macon got a mix of rain and snow. Still, wimping out never feels good, even on a technicality.

Yeah, I chickened out this weekend. I mean, I had every intention of going down to Macon Saturday to the SORBA mountain bike weekend but then they said the white stuff was coming and I got scared. I'm so embarassed.

I'm even more embarassed after reading about <a href="http://arcticglass.blogspot.com/2008/01/i-dont-really-have-to-quit-yet-do-i.html">Jill's weekend ride</a> up in <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/php/database.php?terms=name&state_id=1">Alaska</a>: More than 5 hours in the saddle in 23 degree weather. Pretty sad that I wimped on a ride down here in Georgia while she was able to make it outside in Alaska. Unbelievable.

And yes, for the record I did write just a few weeks back that <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/blog/?p=617">mountain biking in the winter</a> is indeed possible, no matter the conditions.
