Gotta love windy quite
farm roads!

I finally got in a great ride today on the road bike. It didn't rain once and conditions were so good it completely changed my otherwise poor attitude. Good thing too because with the attitude that was brewing who knows what might have happened. Not only was the ride mind-blowing (fall change in effect) but I took my camera to capture it all...

Holy have I been one grumpy whining bugger lately. Case in point yesterday I broke a metal door. Yes metal, and yes I weigh all of 150 lbs. There are these big frickin' doors in my building. I hate them and when I am pissed off I try and fling them open. Because of their mass and the hydraulics used to slow them down they don't really fling. It is hard as hell and gives me a way to blow off angry energy. Well yesterday the hydralics gave out with a snap and the door flung open with a smash. I quickly fled the scene hoping no one saw; no one did. Then I sheepishly went back and looked if I could cover up the breakage and carnage; I could (bit of duct tape always works wonders).

Anyways, I knew I was in serious need of a hard ride. Especially since every ride I have tried to go on lately has been met with flats, mechanical problems, or just lousy conditions. Well all that changed today when I finally got in that killer ride my psyche has been cryin' for; weird how works eh? It was absolutely awesome. It didn't rain on me for a change. In fact it was sunny and I got to do my favourite ride (Desert Lake loop) with the fall change in full swing. All in all I was gone for 5 hours and gloriously hammered away on the insanely hilly terrain. For some odd reason I also decided to drag my camera along. I have never done that before, but fits in the jersey pocket so why not? Well it turns out it turns out it was well worth it. The color changes were spectacular and the sun perfectly showed this. The result was visually mind blowing. The best phrase I can use to sum it up is full on "road riding porn."

So what did I do, I made a web album out of it so all of you can enjoy. Oh, and if you hate road riding, well you suck!
