All of those pictures are great. I just have to remember to take some while I am riding. I usually forget.

I have been trying to get my life organized so that I can do more bike commuting. My hardtail has a new fork and new rim with a quick release, so that when I flat I will not need a tool chest to take the wheel off. So this afternoon, I left the house with everything, I thought. A few blocks down the road, I realize that I NO water! Yikes! I thought of the thread of dumb things you have done on your bike. Well this classifies for me. I called DH and he filled some of my polar water bottles and brought me 2. I could not thank him enough. I put in about ten miles-one way, twenty RT-or so over varied terrain using the local bike trails here in town. I went to my destination in about an hour. Had a cliff shot and came back at a more leisurely pace.

I have realized how out of shape I am. At least that is what it seems like to me. My DH laughs because I'm in better shape than he. He is at least working on it though.
