Doing the Bull Dance, Feeling the Flow

The CUT treasures the Quest from Carlo Dieckmann on Vimeo.

That video really makes me excited for summer time riding. I have recently become enamored by the sport of urban tricksters and dirt jumping. The bicycle can suit so many purposes and fit so many peoples lives, I always enjoy how everyone interprets a bike differently. From the TT wizards geeking out over drag rates to the bums attaching a motley crue of junk to their bikes, they all have some purpose.

The dirt jumping scene has captivated my attention as of late with its incredible flow. There is some serious raw power behind those pedals, but once the bikes are in motion, its all about rolling through the terrain punctuated with aerobatic and aerial maneuvers that boggle the mind.

Just rode out a solid three day block of training. I'm pretty worked over so tomorrow's rest day couldn't come sooner. With the near perfect weather we've been having, 50+F everyday, it should be nice at the coffee shop tomorrow. Got a little luncheon planned as well, life couldn't be better.

Temps should be near 70 Saturday.
