YES, I walked into the shop and there they were......2 red bighit comps! Jump for joy! I hadnt ordered one, I was just waiting till they came in which was a biiiiig mistake. The reason being, is that the owner wanted to keep them both on the floor instead of selling one to me at cost (because I work there). So I begged him to let me have one and he told me that he would call specialized to see how many they had left. I didnt think they were going to have any left because they ALWAYS sell out of them, but there was 1 Medium left, yes......1 frickin Bighit Comp in medium left. How lucky am I?????? So I went to get the cash and bought the bike.
And of course I had to go ride it!! So I called up one of my friends and he didnt want to go until I told him that I had the new bike. So he came into town and picked me up (he got his license last week) and we drove out to the trail. Even though we drove there, there is still a long uphill road that we have to ride to get to the trailhead, and by the time we got there I was cramped up and my throat hurt real bad from the stupid cold air (yea....I whined just now) We took a short rest and then we were off to ride "your mom".starts off real steep and keeps going steep to a real steep rock ride down, and I rode it all the way for the first time because it was so smooth with the new bike. I could have ridden it all with my P3 but I suck so O well. I get too sketched on parts of log rides especially when trees are real near by them, because I always think i'm gunna clip my bars on one and fall to my death:D . Anyway.....after a bunch of log rides, teeters and a jump at the end we are back on the way to my friends van. I think the cold air and me being out of shape ruined my ride sort of, but it was still a good ride.
