    Haha OMR! Wearing the armor was a nice touch. I'm quite amazed that you have a bike with tires clean enough that you can ride it inside your house.

    Nice bike btw.

    Very creative, I was thinking it was yet another OC trail undone.

    But, did you yield to uphill traffic?

    Nice, I like the look of determination, followed by apprehension, accomplishment as you clear the switchback and near the finish, and then splat.:clap:

    The switchback was the easy part. What about the potential of pinch flats, catastrophic deflation and the invariable OTB trip?!?!?!?!

    Oh my! Very funny stuff...thank you. What's most impressive is your wife's level of tolerance. Here you are, riding a bike down her stairs, leaving skid marks (from tires) on the wood steps and probably the walls. Not only she let you live but she proceeded to photograph the event and most likely laugh at you. Now that's what I call an awesome wife and a true champ! :clap:

    Does she have any sisters or daughters we can meet? No disrespect intended. I'm merely full of envy. :clap: :)

    It wasn't until I saw the trademarked 'Allison' shot that I got it... DORK!

    Nice post OMR. Don't give up - you'll conquer those last three steps if you just keep at it!
