Grand Malfunction. They are cleaning up the 5th street bridge area to make
way for the new parkway. Soon the 29 rd bridge will be open, and there will
be another way to get accross the river.

You friggin' squiddly diddly patriot freak! You could ride a beer can
with wheels on technical and make it look good (Cannondale?). Your
nose-wheelie down FOI's steepest section is an idelible image in my
feeble mind. At least you dumped the Mavic POS. It took you a while
to learn reeeel gud about hubs, but it sounds like you're done learning
that lesson. Now if we could only get you off of that road bike...

Funny you should mention that. I feel like road biking has sucked all, if
any of my MTB riding skills out of my body. It is like whoa...You mean I
have to shift going up this hill. Oh ****, now I have to wheelie to get
over that rock. Damn, should have been behind the seat on that descent. It
is kind of like going mountainbiking for the first time again, and again,
and again.

I hope all is well with you.

I had a run with no technical and then hit a trail with some. Five
minutes of shimmying and shaking and all was well.

All is well and the kiddo says hi to your dudes.
