I started a new job a couple weeks ago, happily one that affords me the opportunity to ride to work.

So I guess it's been a while since I last posted anything here. It's not that I haven't been riding or fixing or whateverelse i usually write about on here. Rather I have been so busy doing all those things, that  the blog got left a little by the wayside.  But alas, I'm back.

I have in fact been riding 2-3 times a week evenly shared between  Murphy Trails, the Henderson conservation area, and of course the wawanosh wetlands/trail through the city circuit.

speaking of Murphys, if you haven't been in  a while, go! you will be excited to know that the trail has been augmented and now features 5 trails where there were once only 4. I believe they did this in preparation for the run/bike event they are hosting tomorrow in cooperation with the local Running Room franchise here in Sarnia.

I think that if the entry fee for the competition wasn't fifty bucks I would be more curious to see how i fared against other riders. - I won't cross the line and say other atheletes, because what I do on a bike, although strenous and fleeting, doesn't really qualify me as such. I am 6"2 and 200#s. - not  a llightweiht, and definitely not in peak physical condition  by any stretch, but I sure do love riding.
