On the Bike and Back on [Single] Track

We finally got enough parts on my Kona to hit the local hill with it. Big ups to Len for the new fork, and to Jack for the knowhow to ghettorig any bike part! Jack and I hiked a few trails at Ethan Allen Park in Burlington yesterday and I'm feeling MUCH better about the DH season, now that I'm not ricocheting and bouncing off things on little paths with my 27lb. hardtail/commuter. Highlands tomorrow if the weather holds. US Open practice starts in 6 days. BRING IT ON!
