Well, it has been a while since I took a mountain bicycle out for a serious ride, but I did so today. The Canyon and I cruised for the better part of the afternoon, and proved to be a wonderful reward for getting caught up with my work load.

The bike is a keeper, for sure and I plan to keep it as close to original as I can. That said, the saddle sucks. Well, perhaps that is unfair and should be reworded. The saddle SUCKS!!!

None the less, I was impressed with how easily the bicycle rolled and maneuvered. And one thing that came to mind, a time or two, as the Peugeot and I were out and about - I did not have to keep my eye on the road, all the time, preparing to avoid the approach of every crack, hole or bump.

And when I got home, guess what was sitting in my back yard..?
