Night Bike

Yesterday a old friend from the college days called. Minduim (Peanut) invited me to participate in a mountain bike competition. I was very glad to receive that invite because we didn’t talk for a long time and he remembered me.

Minduim is a joker. The competition is a 12 hour mountain bike race that starts in the midnight and finish in the noon. What a good friend I have, don’t you thing?

We’ll, I did not use my mountain bike for a long time. Yesterday night I took a ride in my neighborhood; I have to be fit to the competition! I was not that bad. I rode 2 hours and 20 to 30 kilometers.

In my good old days of mountain bike (10 years ago) I used to ride 100 to 200 kilometers each week. When I bought the bike I thought that it could be a fun thing to do and to have a health improvement. My expectations were overcome many times. I enjoyed so much my MB that I spend the next 3 years rinding almost every weeking. And in the nights I used to rode with 2 or 3 friends. Good old days. Maybe it’s time to come back to them!
