Man vs Wild

I finally had an opportunity to get my new 29er (wheel size of my new mountain bike) out on the trail. This was the same trail that my full suspension met its end. I mounted up on this oversize Mountain bike and hit the trail hard. 15 minutes into the ride I realized pretty quick that I was climbing quicker and descending on the single track at a good pace.

Moving fast and enjoying the ride, my left arm caught some briars and I starting bleeding. In the mountain bike world, when you bleed from a ride, you have become one with the trail. It’s kind of a marriage. The bleeding was making me feel manly so I searched for some bugs to eat in order to seal the “Man vs Wild” deal, but the only thing present was some bees, so I had to settle showing off my battle wound to my woman. Lynn, with all of her love said, “that’s nice”. Well never mind, it still was a cool ride.

Blood is Life
Blood is Proof of Life
Blood Seals the Deal…its kind of a marriage
