Terrible One

My mountain bike was in the shop getting wheels trued. I only had one option if I wanted to ride yesterday (75 degrees and sunny). That was to bust out ole faithful. The only part I have changed on my Terrible One 21 inch Barcode in the last 5... YES 5 years is the rear tire and tube, not because it was flat but because the tire was so old it was cracking and I popped the tube removing it (Snafu rim job, 130psi max, tight as shit even after 5 years).

I put a new aitken tire on the back and the snafu knob job up front is still in like new condition so I left it alone. I rode some local trails that are sponsored by the city, everything is rollable and they are kind of small but just what I needed to get back in the groove of the 20 inch bike.

After about 4 runs I was clearing easily and had a big thirst for something larger. Tonight (Sunny and 80) I will be heading out to Sk8 Cary to get some park action.

Sad thing is, all my friends are up in Michigan and I have no one to ride with down here, really sucks. Sad story I know but I'm sure I'll have fun being back on the bike nonetheless.

Like I said, I have ridden alone 100% of the time so action shots of me riding are going to be rare, BUT I can take shots of my bike!

Here it is, same configuration for at least the last 5 years, I must say though, the rear rim is shot, but it still functions :).
