Gratitude to the trail builders at Watters Smith in Lost Creek, WV who have created something really special for all MTB skill levels.
What was most surprising though was the amount of Arrowhead Orb Weavers I pulled off my bike.

This read was a timely and powerful reminder that "the small, often unnoticed actions are the ones that create the tipping point."
"Sometimes, a person reaches a point in their life when it becomes absolutely essential to get the fuck out of the city."

From the very first line I knew this was going to be a good one. Currently dreaming of simpler times playing in the woods.

Gratitude to Unision Bike Lab in Pittsburgh for putting on a banger of an event yesterday. The Pittsburgh Roubaix was a rad exploration of gnarly, steep cobblestone climbs around the city in the cold rain. 10/10!
