It is 12:42am I should be in f'n bed but I'm not. I worked a 12 hour event in the hot southern summer and was up at 5:30am, but I am still not in bed. Why you ask? I finally rode a nice fully rigid 29er around Catawba today. It made me jonesin'. I have a hard on you could say.

I want one.

Fuck the 1x1 - I'm getting a Niner. A Kermit Green Niner. Rigid Reynolds fork. 2.1 tires & single speed. Even if I am not a fan of the EBB design & go through every single thing to find something.

I want one. Guess I'm pushing a camera out of my dreams for now. I want a sweet Twenty Nine inch mountain bike that makes me feel like a kid again. Makes me feel like the first time I ever rode a single speed, or my first kiss even. Other than the time it bucked me into a tree, or the rigid fork rattled my can when I forgot to bunny hop a log - I want it. It was a love/hate relationship & I think I was the one loving more than it.

More later - I must shower and lay in bed for hours thinking about my ride today.
