I have been up and down the past 6-8 weeks since that damm Tick got me .
But the good news is the last two Tuesday night's I have had two of the strongest Mtn Bike rides of the summer. Part of it was Gary let me try out His Santa Cruz - Blur . It's one very nice full suspension bike and I got used to it very fast. Anyhow I had two strong rides leading the group for a few sections . I even cleaned SLIC ROCK ( or Garnet Ledge ) in the CT. hiking Blue book. This was only the third time I have cleaned this climb botton to top ever + I have done tis climb 25-50 times .
My lower back pain and general joint pain issues are getting way better the past week - more good news.
I also had a great climbing night last night Wed 9/19/07. I have not been doing the local Wed night climbes with work issues + not feeling good. I also had a sub par weekend at the Gunks 9/14-16. I started with the CLASSIC Pegasus 5.8 and climbed it well, then I did Sat night Special 5.9- and cruised it, so my next test peice was Mindbender - this is a 5.9+ or 5.10- and a good hard route. It had 3 crux's , when I got to the first crux I reached up found the side pull and was up in a flash. Cool things are going well, the next crux I also moved over it fast . The final roof I did my cool Knee jam move and was done - Fanyastic I think I'm almost back to my June climbing level. Lastely I did Golden book 5.6 + Pink elephant 5.5 I think. Great night and I have lots of my confidence back !!!
