not sure this even qualifies as a separate ride from the last one (same day) but as it was on a different bike i suppose it does. i just popped up to see my injured buddy Matt. the good news was that' he'd been out for a short ride and felt only mild effects to his injured hip. he'll still need an operation but it's great to see he hasn't given up, i really miss him out on the bike, i've had so many good times sharing the trail with Matt even in winter when we've frozen our butts off and only ridden for a short distance it's been great just to chat, get things off your chest, talk shit about bikes, life and everything inbetween. we've ridden together through the canti brake, v brake and now disc brake years, from back when downhill forks had an amazing 80mm of travel and xc had a crazy 65mm and when we used to dream and lust after those new fangled bikes with rear suspension. we've never been any good at it but we've had great fun, get fixed soon Matt, i and the trails miss you!
