Expecting to Fly, Learning to Ride


Spent a quiet morning at home with Ian and the dogs. We just got done with another session of learning to ride with no training wheels. He is doing fantastic, and we're both having a lot of fun. He just about has it. He rode 30-40 feet by himself this time. It's a sunny, perfect spring day for a bike ride. We may hit the greenway in Z-ville later or make a run to the store on the bikes.

Ron, Scott G. and I are planning to night ride at BCSP tonight. The trails should be pretty good after the sun and wind today. I just checked out the pictures from the workday this weekend on HMBA.org. Great job guys! Wow. It looks like some big improvements were made on the HP Trail. I can't wait to check it out in person this evening.

Now it's off to the shop to get the sled ready for the ride tonight. I think I might check out some headlights. I've needed a new light for a long time. For the last ten years (that's right, a decade) I've been using the same Blackburn VistaLites. The things just will not die. They are going to be turned into commuting lights exclusively. I think I'm going to dive into the world of modern HID headlights.
