Did you ride your Barracuda today?

Did you ride your Barracuda today? I took my A2M to the Barton Creek Greenbelt this weekend. And the old bike kept up with the new high tech bikes just fine.
So don't just keep those Barracuda's hanging on your trophy display.. Ride'em

I WISH....my shoulder is fubar,son is not happy that we can not ride....but glad to hear that somebody made it out and had a good ride. And you hit on a point that I have wonder about...do you really need long travel and diskbrakes on a crosscountry bike...
The picture of the stack of rocks...TRADITION I take when you go to that spot...There is a dome room in Ginnie springs cave that we do the same thing...do you have anymore pictures from that ride...would like to see what you guys ride...

Were you able to get saddle time in Mark...any pictures to share? Did anybody ride lately,my neck and shoulder is still a mess...Did about 4 or so miles with the whole family,but it was on a paved trail in a local nature park...rode most with one hand...but had fun watching my little girl ride and think she was out running me..

I rode my street tire'd Schwinn Mesa GSX MTB around the neighborhood this weekend.

I ride every single day unless I'm sick or we've gone out of town. I have to... I can't explain it, it's like doing artwork... I do that every day because I have to for whatever reason. I guess it's some sort of therapy, maybe personal time, who knows? I think riding is cathartic! Whatever I don't want to take with me into the next day, grab a bike and leave it on the road. Just the same, a ride first thing in the morning, especially when most of the world is still snoozin', is hard to beat! I've often wondered about that... what do people do that don't ride (or create art, music, etc.)... do they just watch the boob tube? What a sad life!!! The way I see it, my ability to ride is my daily reminder to be thankful, so many people are unable to enjoy the experience of riding... I never want to take that for granted!

Sorry to hear yet understand. With school back in my Son and I really have not been running out after I get home from work plus with the time change I get home and it is dark,I enjoy a night ride from time to time but everynight no thanks and weekends have been a mess. Anyways hope you make it out and post more pictures would be nice to see!

I took my A2M for a 6 mile ride in the back yard greenbelt yesterday. I finally got the rear derailleur adjusted properly. It was a lot of fun. I kind of like the stiff frame..
