Bikes!

[Griff]

That is a purdy lil bike. I like the basic black.

I just broke a chain out in the snowy woods. It is always a pain with muddy fingers and compact tools. I was dropping pins left and right and saying to myself, you can build a freaking timberframe house, teach an emotionally disturbed child with ASD to read, cross log piles on a bike... then I got rational. The chain, being old, was stretched. I removed an extra link but didn't push the pin through the back plate, put the chain together and pushed the pin back through easy as pie.

Crossed one obstacle for the first time today. A tree fell against the root ball of another fall. The last couple times I went through I stacked limbs against both sides of it building a little ramp which I cleared today right across the root ball. Of course I fell later in the ride and my elbow is swelling up but let's stay positive.
