Default It waSS a SSan Juan Friday afternoon

Well I have decided that it is time to either love the SS you ride or maybe ride another bike. So a friend tells me that if your not digging the rigid SS thing ride it three times in a row and you will either then be back in love or ready to move on... So after the new wheels I headed up AliSSo and realized just how bad I SSuck at SSing as it has been way too long.. Long SStory short it SSucked. So off I headed to SSan Juan my favorite SS trail around and had the place to mySSelf everything was beautiful but you can tell that summer is just around the corner as the trail is starting to dry out in places, but is still in great shape overall.

No one around...


Thought about posting this in the Trail picss thread


Thiss too but someone beat me too it


Thiss would qualify


Looking back



Coming back down from cocktail rock I really enjoyed the silent running of my SS NO chain slap to take away fro a fantastic day. I was rewarded at the bottom with a few minutes to sit and reflect on how I have been gone way too much and need to try and find a better balance between work and life

The water is still running in the creek at the lower parking lot

I really want to get back to San Juan soon. Not SS though--I'd like to be able to breathe a little.

My B-day is April 19 and I have been trying to figure out what to do... I am thinking we need to put on a San Juan Sufferfest SS to cocktail or Gears for a full tour

Sunday April 20th if it works for the masses.

Let me know and I will post this

Nice Sims, don't wait too long for that next ride... you need the leftover SS mojo from the last one to make it enjoyable.

Sunday's are bad for me, but for your B-Day ride and can make it happen.
