it's bike season!

Friends know that out of all the strange obsessions I have there are two that top the charts: dogs and biking.  Especially pit bulls and mountain biking!  The sun is out and even though my stomach is still a bit queasy it is high time to hit the trails.  Tonight I'll be joining some friends at one of my favorite mountain bike parks for the official first ride of the season.

my dog matches my bike.  i planned that.

I used me lunch break to pull the bike out of the closet, pump up the tires and collect my gear from various corners of the apartment.  This summer will be even more exciting as I'm planning on doing a couple MTB race series.

As you can see Harper was very interested in what I was doing, especially in my shoes and gloves.  Once she gets all her shots and is cleared to leave my apartment I'm going to start working with her to become my biking companion!  I've always been jealous seeing fellow mountain bikers with their dogs happily running along with them as they ride the trails.  It's time to start looking up some literature on how to properly train her!
