SOME SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES REQUIRE HOLY KITS - sponsored by BMC

SOME SAY YOU CAN SEE THE HAND OF GOD ON A BABY'S FACE OR THE SUN RISING ACROSS A DESERT PLAIN. For me the mountains never fail to deliver. Today one of us came prepared with a holy kit...

... and we all spilled some blood.

Naturally, the new guy spilled the most blood. He'd fallen behind. So much so that we reversed course. After a bit he rounded a corner, with an Ace bandage over what appeared to be an unholy amount of gauze.

What happened?

I crashed.

And...

And the blood was squirting out with each heartbeat.

His socks were soaked.

The hikers patched me up.

All good?

Hellyeah!

Thataboy!

These are the kinds of spiritual experiences which often....
... accompany?
... precede?
... follow?
... the sense of oneness with nature.

For is there a better way to escape our digital dungeons than to truly connect with Mother Nature? Touch her with great force? Breath her pristine air through gaping and gasping mouths? And, yes, bleed with her?

Which brings me to the kit one practitioner wisely wore today.

You know there are a lot holes on that kit.

Yes.

You know I gotta guy that can hook you up with a new kit?

Yes... it's you!

Well...

Well.. I know where we are going today, I know it's highly likely I'll be leaving some skin on the trail... therefore I prefer to don an old kit with holes.

Ahhh, a holy kit.

If you're into these kinds of spiritual experiences, and why wouldn't you be, it's quite helpful to have a bike that climbs like a Blue Angel and handles like Ferrari.

I'm partial to the Swiss engineering on BMC bikes.

Apparently their partial to us as well because they accidentally shipped three (3) of their top of the line XC, Long Travel mountain bikes.,,

... we'll be shipping them back Monday or Tuesday, unless you'd like to pick one up at the PEDALposse price?

Here's a link to all the details.

This is the same bike I've been tearing up my local trails on and absolutely loving, but it's the long travel version.

Nearly as light, more travel.

Superduper fun!
