Ibis Cycles

I haven’t been in the groove much lately, not sure exactly why though a lot of life stuff has been going on. The groove is a funny thing.

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve been in the groove, I think mainly due to a crash I had back in mid January where I smacked the left side of my head and left shoulder heavily into a tree.

Heart says ride but the only thing high on the body’s To Do list is lying down with eyes closed. (more…)

Headed out with Hozza for another night adventure, this time to a steep gully crossing that finds its way into most of my rides. (more…)
