Hurricane Bill - Mother Nature Runs Tings

Well, it was epic fun. Kai flew all the way from Berlin to get in 2 mtb rides around NYC. Hurricane Bill chimed in and shaped the weekend for us. 10-15 foot waves at the beaches and blue rooms for the surfers. Storms riding up the coast thrashing most of our good technical trails and Kai got stuck in Detroit Friday night.
Darius and I scooped him up at JFK Saturday at noon and we went straight out to Rocky Point on LI for an xc ride at breakneck speed. 2 29ers. 2 singlespeeds. 1 26er. Kai's first time on a 29er. 18-20 miles of fun, heat, and humidity. 3 Slurpees. A good time had by all.


A successful day mission followed by a visit to the Taj Mahal for an Indian feast and some Kwak!

Sunday we jetted out to LI again for a blistering ride at Glacier Ridge. 2 bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches from the Mexican Joint. 1 Oslo cappuccino. 2 homeopathic muffins. 1 Slurpee. 1 ice cream bar. Kai jumped out at LGA and was on his way home... Y'all come back soon now. Ya hear!

    Ja! Intense little trip again. Did some serious damage to my Berlin-trail-rationalizing (er...what trails? There's some remaining WW2 rubble...). And inflicted some urgency in regards to the 'one new steed a year' rule...aaw, was I in denial.
    Thanks for the 29 and much more, see you soon! QUAK!
