I was thinking of attempting the 29er .... but Ranger Nancy caught me staring at the stairs and said... "Oh no you don't bucko!" and confuscated the bike!
Ever seen a grown man cry?

I got my Haro out and was shredding my in-laws back yard. They have an acre+ on a gentle slope and I had a neat loop going.
--I started on the 16' flatbed trailer at the back edge, upper portion of the property. It's about 2' high at the end. I wheelied off that... --cut behind the garage --cut between 2 sheds --dropped down a 1' high dirt ledge in between two patches of ice plant --up some stairs made out of railroad ties --back in between the sheds --down onto the patio to a 3 railroad tie skinny --up the paved driveway --down the railroad tie stairs --then back up to a huge dirt mound in the back corner opposite the trailer --up the back side of that and down --down the paved driveway to jump my kids' BMX ramp. I did this while my wife slept (recovering from surgery). I kept my cell phone in my pocket and she called me when she needed me. I ran this route close to 20 times today. If it wasn't dark, I'd take pics and post them. I wish I'd thought to take pics then. Maybe in the morning.EDIT: Here's a link to pics-- My rainy day route

I have been riding at least once or twice during the week for the past 2 weeks. As the days get longer, I will be riding almost every day after work.

With kids, work, spouse, Taekwondo, etc, I don't have the time to bust out multi hour rides usually. So, I have to go for quantity. Most of my weekday rides are less than 2 hours and most of my weekend rides are less than 3 hours. This rain is making almost all of that impossible however.
