I went mountain biking today. My friend lent me a 29” single speed. We rode to the trail head, which was quite hilly, but thankfully my legs are still golden. We rode a few miles of single track. The bike seemed sluggish at times, I think because of the larger wheels. For sure they fell different than 26” wheels that I rode for years.

I’m quite glad to have gotten back on a bike, and ride as well as I did (my friend spoke nicely of my bike handling skills, awwww). It was cold and my heart was screaming, but it felt amazing.

Just as I did in 1993, I love mountain biking.
