07 Aug 2010, Riding near home

It may have been a short ride but with the wind and the climbs it was a great workout. I like my Tricross better every time I mount up. The "roadie" in her makes for good speed with less effort and the "mountain" in her is surprising. It's like being torn between two jobs or two places you want to be, and she differentiates well.

We can cruise along a gentle greenbelt, hammer down a highway or backroad or get pretty serious in the dirt and rocks. She really surprised me in the rocks last Monday at the volcanoes. I was working way too hard and going way too fast that day to bother with many pictures. The only one I shot today was with my phone.

But regardless of where I want to go or when I'm ready that baby is always sitting in the garage chomping at the bits to go play. I've not got two sets of two wheels that ARE my sanity and my health all wrapped up in two.
