beast of the east hops again

after my last sorry attempt at hopping around on my much-neglected trials-equipped mountain bike and finding myself flat on my back with the wind out of my lungs, i was slow to do the necessary repairs on my bicycle. weeks and weeks later i have finally secured a second-hand, but functioning set of magura hydraulic brakes to replace my antiquated and faulty hydros.

with great pleasure i was bouncing on my rear tire, walking front and rear wheels and generally having a good time this evening on my old beast of the east cannondale mountain bike. seems i’ve been able to keep most of my basic trials skills, but my arms, heart and sweat glands got a hellacious workout in a mere 30 minutes of hopping.

some fine-tuning is necessary, but it’s good to be back on two wheels.

  2. Man, I haven’t been keeping up with the man because The Man has me working too much. I’m with Super T. Ya gotta keep rolling. My thighs are bigger than they’ve ever been thanks to the nightly workout coming home. I imagine myself grinding up the Alps as I battle the final three block climb home. That last killer block and parking my bike in the Seattle rain has combined to give my bottom bracket the wobblies. Unlike Lance I have to shell out for repairs but despite the lack of a support vehicle, I’m still pretty lucky to have a shop at the bottom of the hill.

  6. Hi. In the future I’m going to keep here links to their sites. But I do not worry about the sites where my link is removed. So if you do not want to see a mountain of links, simply delete this message. After 2 weeks, I will come back and check.
