RAINING ON YOUR TRAINING? ROTTEN ON YOUR RACING? IF YOU'RE DRY, YOU DIDN'T TRY HARD ENOUGH

Yeah, so it's going to be like that is, it? You know what I mean, mother nature, I get your game, and I've seen it before. It looks like, so far, you're going to a super bee-atch  and slap us with rain and thunderstorms every weekend and half of the freakin' week days with the same soupy crap. The mildew is already starting to build, starting with the bottom of my lungs on up. We've seen it before, and well, it looks like we're going to see it again.

Yes indeed, mother nature is a bitch - as seen here:



That all said, I'm ready to start my training again, with believe it or not, with some mountain biking. After watching the video below, from our friends at Mud & Cowbells, I was ready-as-hell to saddle up my mountain SS or my CX SS and head out to the bogs of Cannonsburg or Luton for a little single track mud slinging.

So I did ... and it was a bit muddy as you can see from my bike, and my riding partner.
 Yeah, they were a mess.

As you can see there was a little mud on the bike, and a lot on the dog. She got a good washing (so did the bike) a blow-dry and some toweling off. I had a couple beers and then we packed it in.

Want to see a tired mountain bike dog.

Yeah, she's livin' the dream, isn't she?
