Did a twenty five mile solo ride today, was given a Camelback Mule today as well. Pretty neat day pack, I'll be using that for hiking mid state and Mt. Watatic tomorrow to let my legs recuperate.
Didn't crash today (one close call on a downhill) but didn't get to shoot anyone either.
(
Yep, the .45 fits in the middle pocket of the mule perfectly, plenty of room for everything.

When I used to ride XC, my mother, I was 13, didn'T want me to go alone... totally understandable... but it's much nicer to ride with some friends so you can see how are the other progressing and everything ...

Keep jerkin it to those men fagerlin.Oh and, i don't think you understand what irony means. Look it up, neither of those two remarks i made were in any way ironic, unless you somehow knew about me and your mom...then it would be ironic that i told you...or possibly that i was going to use your kleenex to wipe her face with it. At best they were predictable, much like your lame remark, whatever it may be, to this post.

Don't get all worked up over Pete. I'll admit, I used to. It is like watching an episode of Jerry Springer; just sit back and enjoy the entertainment. Either block him or have a laugh at his posts.

Any other sad little attempts at pretending you have friends to impress?
