So, the unthinkable happened this weekend. I drank so little coffee that I gave myself a caffeine withdrawal headache....ugh awful!

Cyclo Cross is an off road discipline, but we ride on road and gravel too. Last weekend was insanely muddy, and we had to navigate seriously slippery side hills, as well as tight turns in slick grass and muddy uphills and downhills. Mountain bikes are typically too heavy and clunky for CX, but there are plenty of them out there. If you're looking for a bike to add with your mtn bike, the CX bikes are great, since you're not limited to paved roads. My bike is an Ibis Hakka MX. Once I built it, I haven't ridden my road bike AT ALL. I even do road century rides on my Hakka.

Will have to look into that. Looking into tris and may use my MTB for a sprint first before buying another bike. I was thinking road bike of some sort to get something on the other end of the spectrum from that (Specialized 29/Rockhopper), but I could look at CXs too.

Tri is another animal. If that's your goal, find a nice road bike.

Hey Matt, I saw that someone local was doing a Off-Roading 101 this weekend but I will be 2-wheeling it so will have to miss out. We really enjoyed hitting the forest roads in AR this weekend and will be doing it again here in MO sometime soon. I will try to put something together in the next few weeks as I get time to do it. I doubt it will be a park like St. Joe or Midnight but who knows. :D

Nice, I haven't found a solid source for jeep-able fire roads, but there are a lot in the Mark Twain National Forests. Problem is it's hard to tell if they would be at least a little interesting in the jeep, if they connect through, etc!

I went through 2 months of a 125lb dog trying to break out of the house.

Window treatments ripped off
Door lock sets mangled by his teeth
2 crates broken out off

There's more!!

OWO! The thing is...other people are at home when I’m gone...

First I need to learn to swim more than splashing around at the pool, lol! But it's on the calendar for next season so I'll be practicing this winter.

Same here! I can barely swim to save my life!

I know what you mean. Last year, Monica and I went out in Mark Twain and found a road to no where. LOL. Funny thing is, the map showed it went through...through a large mud puddle...and another puddle...and I think another puddle...and I think it really did...but...we were out alone and don't have a winch or come-along and was out of cell service...so chickened out and done a u-turn in the woods. LOL Chances are, most of the roads I would take in my new one wouldn't put a tax on the Rubicon's abilities but it is still fun to get out and get a little dirty! Gravel, packed dirt, weeds, and water crossings, it is all good. Don't need deep thick mud or rock crawling to get off. LOL

He's a maniac, and Alex is an enabler...

Of course Chris is neither... Although he could have fooled me on the drive back to NYC!

That helps a lot !!!

Einstein has been with me for about 7 yrs now and this 2 mouth bout happened about a year or so ago ...right outta the blue !

Loooong story but ended with me saying to him on the way to work one morning .." Son ! I'm not gonna crate you , I'm not gonna lock the doors , I'm gonna pray for you ! ...It must ne terrible what your going through so if you need to be free then so be it ....I hope and pray you find a home somewhere !

and then I walked out the door


staring at my phone all day at work just waiting for someone to call saying he had been hit or they found him and he's safe ..but no calls all day
Loooong quiet drive home that day thinking he somewhere out there lost and wondering where I am - freaking out !!

I pull in my drive way and all is quiet , I walk in the door and all is quiet , no signs of struggle or damage to the home but very empty and still !!!
I walk into my bedroom and there he is laying on my bed '''" HI DAD !!!" ...............Like none of the 2 months of Holy Hell even happened !

and we're living happily ever after ..........so far !
