THE FIRST CUT
I HEARD A BOXER SAY HE NEEDS TO GET HIT A FEW TIMES TO GET INTO IT. Then, again Mike Tyson said everybody has a plan until they get punched in the nose. I'm a lover not a fighter... but, I can tell you this...
On the way up San Juan Trail this morning, I was a little out of it. Just wasn't on my A game. Especially on the rocky, rooty downhill section past Cocktail Rock. Was riding like a baby. Coulda been the cold. Coulda been the moisture and sliminess. Whatever it was, I was riding terrible.
Then, I got that first cut.
Followed by a sweet crank to the shin.

Just like that,
I snapped out of it,
cranked up Foo Fighters in my mind,
and started haulin' @$$.

The rest of the ride was ace.
Hero dirt.
Carving turns.
Wheeling up and jumping off rocks.
Soaking in that amazing view.
Soaring like a diesel.
