Ridin' Dirty
Yesterday was one hell of a crazy day. Chase took in a customers bike at the shop and as payment he brought Chase and I a six pack of pabst blue ribbon. Not to mention a drunk came in and I fixed his tire for him, no charge, had to get him outta there cause I was getting drunk just from the smell. After a long day at work Chad and Chase worked on Mark's bike while I sipped away at a PBR. Mark ended up with no front brake and a friction shifter in the front.
When I got home from work I was totally pumped to ride. I listened to ridin' dirty no less than 10 times. I threw my light on my bike, tuned up my dads bike and took off for the park. We had a pretty good turn out. Some Rice Lake boys showed up, Gerry Wright, Russ Trip, Sovas, Ron, my dad, and Mark. We were all ready to ride. We took off through the park at about 9:30, Ron showed up late, just givin' you shit Ron. We ended up doing the time trial course. I lead the train, making periodical stops so that everyone could catch up. When we got to the pit we all turned off our lights and hid. CHad jumped out of the bushes and tried, unsuccessfully, to scare Russ. CHase rode ahead and waited behind a tree. He yelled at me and jumped out into the trail and I screamed like a little girl. It was pretty funny. CHase led through the last section of singletrack, which is good cause I would have missed that same turn I missed in the TT. when we hit the fence line the RL boys took off. CHase and I decided to chase them down and it ended up as a sprint to the end.
AFter the ride was over we played bike games. They were alot of fun, we probably spent more time screwing around then riding. We finished the ride off with the fastest five, which was totally sweet at night!
I ended up tagging my eggbeaters on a rock and totally bent the shit out of the drive side one.
