All my friends are wusses

Ever wonder why you have the friends you do? I mean really, especially for us mountain biker types. All my friends that have mountain bikes and who hold themselves out as mountain bikers. Well, really they aren't. They like to stand around in South Park on perfect days and hold their shiny, never dirty mountain bikes out for every one to see. But when it really comes down to it they don't love to ride, just love to pose as part of the culture. AH...drives me crazy. Sorry Vic , can't ride today, too cold or too muddy or my girl friend will get mad, or it's too hot. Yea when it comes to mountain biking, I need new friends. If my friends are reading this, just kidding! Come on boys get off your asses and let's ride. Road rides are fine till the woods drain a bit. Give me a call POSERS!!! ~ Vic

Can't beat it? Join it.

If you can't beat the weather as a bike rider, you can always join it. I got in some cross country skiing the week end and some much needed outdoor exercise. Come on warm weather!!!!!
