Long time I don't go for a trail ride, just for fun! Last time was at spodefest, then I raced a two day enduro and that was it. The enduro is fun, but you can't stop and watch the birds...
Well, I had plans to go last week, but last minute problems prevented me to go. Okay... One week later... I had a class to teach, computer programming class, to a dude (yeah, just one student), the course would take the entire week. The guy was at an advanced level, but he said he wanted to go saturday. I was upset, because I had teached him more than the course curriculum has... Sunday wasn't a good trail to ride - later on this subject some lines below - Saturday lights came on the morning with a very strong rain, that stopped by 8am, but the clouds were still there, covering everything. I was at the classroom and thinking about riding, the traction would be perfect, everything would be perfect, except that I had to be there. Was when the student asked if the sun would come (he's from another part of the country) and I said him to enjoy the beach, the sun would come greatly, would be a terrific day to go to the beach! (I am such a liar, what a shame!) Hehehe, good news, it worked. I called my friend Eduardo and he said "well, my rear tire is flat, I am going to fix it and I drop by your house in one hour". Great, One is the time it takes to drive from the school to home and put the gear on - bike was ready, I just needed a lubricant on the chain and gasohol on the tank.
