Well I'm taking a day off from the bmx track and working on some street riding skills and endurance training. I have a hill in mind to try and ride up as well as some nice bumpy sidewalks along downtown. I need to learn to build up my endurance and my bunnyhopping skills and curb launching skills.
This here pic is me at the city park playground just messing around manualing on the open concrete shuffleboard area. I also "used to" rode the putt-putt golf course making quick jumps and bunnhops. Unfortunately the place is patrolled and no bikes, skaters, or in-line skaters are allowed there anymore. They also tore down the sand pit volleyball pit and planted grass there. Too many "undesirables" were showing up there. Now it's all for the kids and families. So even the walking path through the park has signs up saying "No Bikes". That leave me only the downtown section to ride on. And the good thing about that is there are lots of hilly sections downtown through tree lined neighborhood streets, filled with songbirds and the rustle of wind through the trees. Its really nice there.
I should be leaving soon before it gets too hot to ride. It got really hot by 11:30am yesterday and today I want to ride before the heatwave... its a sticky, balmy 66 degrees outside right now, so I should leave early. I just realized I don't have headphones for my cdplayer nor the cash to buy them right now, so I will just listen to the sounds of nature and of the people milling about downtown.
Have a good one everybody and to the bikers... ride on!
