Salem Hills 29er

Hey how about this weather? On Wednesday the weather wasn't a problem, 75* and sunny! Petey and I broke out the 29er single speeds for a ride. This was the maiden voyage for the XXIX with the new Reba fork. I must say that a front suspension makes a huge difference. I love the 29er, they roll fast as hell. Someday when Minnesota stops looking like Seattle and other trails open up, we will have some MORBID Ride & BBQ's. Stay tuned.

Cold night, but it was perfect after a long stretch of rain and wet trails. We took advantage of the light that was still out when we rolled out to the trail. Mikey and I knocked out a nice warm-up lap that seemed to fly by. We took a short breather and headed out for another loop, we still had plenty of light left. We rocked that lap out and headed back up to the parking lot until it got a little darker.

The lights were flipped on and we set off again, lap #3. I hit it a little harder, or at least it felt harder on this lap. Finished the lap without killing ourselves and made it back to the lot. The beer felt extra cold tonight and tasted really good. I like the New Glarus Staghorn. Try some next time you hit Wisconsin.

The Hunger set in and knowing The Castle was close and tasty we decided to hit it up. 8 burgers, a box of fries, and a donation of a dollar to Jerry's Kids or something each later we were full, both with food and feeling good about getting to write our name on a paper pumpkin for the kids.

Next time you hit Salem, don't forget the Castle.

***UPDATE***
My farts today smell like White Castle...mmm....
