Had a super active weekend this weekend. Definitely a far cry from this time last year’s drinking, smoking and general laziness.
On Saturday Suga and I spent about $1k on stuff for the house. Bed linen, bathroom towels, kitchen glassware, food shopping… it’s scary how it all adds up and it hurts so bad (yeah I was thinking fuck… I could get a nice bike for that kinda money!) but it’s a good thing… I think?!

On Sunday we headed over to Lady Carrington for a ride. Christina made it up the hill at the end this time and had a case of exercise induced nausea (ie: she really pushed herself!). She also had a good go on my Reign and loves how comfortable the dual suspension is, especially on the bumpier downhill bits (not that you’d technically call any of it bumpy, or dh at Lady).
I have to admit, despite wanting to hold on to the romance of the old school, I’ve truly become a fan of moedrn dual suspension bikes. It’s black and white, apples and oranges, between hardtails and dual suspension bikes. Riding her Talon hardtail was definitely bumpier, but also more fun in some ways as it’s more challenging than the Reign over rougher terrain (the Reign mows over anything where the Talon has trouble tracking over rougher stuff).
In the end of the day a dual suspension bike is a far better bike for beginners than a hardtail. Full stop. I can’t see how anyone could possibly argue that.
We also managed to sneak in a session at St. Michael’s driving range. I was in shit form but by the end of her bucket of balls Christina got the hang of it!
This weekend’s physical exertion has given sporty spice a sore ass and shoulders.
