So on Friday I rode my motorcycle to work. All seemed well, until it was time to go. It was pouring at work. So I rode through the rain. As I got to the on ramp to get on I-15 I slow way down, and start my turn. My back tire just slid. It felt like it went forever, but probably only slipped 6" to a foot before getting traction. I thought I was going down. At least it would be a low-side crash. My legs got soaked on the ride home, and by the time I got to Wasatch it was a light sprinkle. With the soaked pants it made for a cold ride. Pretty much just chilled that night.

Saturday morning Jason showed up just after 8 am. We unloaded his bike and then chilled as we had some time to kill. We looked over some trails and decided on one. Then it was over to Steve's house to get him moved. Ate some doughnuts and moved some stuff. Got all of their stuff moved just before noon. Then Jason and I headed back up to my place to get ready to ride. We got all our gear and headed to Corner Canyon. It has easily been 4 years since I've ridden there as my old favorite trail had homes built all over top of it. I was amazed at how well things have been changed. If anything the lower part of the trail is better now than it was then. I still miss the old upper trail, but I think I'll be going back there often! We made it to a bit of a clearing where all the different trails diverged and I was exhausted. Jason was cool enough to wait while I got myself going again. But that's when it started. First it started in my right arm. Sharp pain when moving it. I'd never felt anything like it. Kind of like arm-pump, but a sharp instead of dull. I figured I would try to push through it. We continued up, but I didn't make it far before my left calf cramped up huge. I tried to push through it hoping that it would relax, but it didn't. I told Jason to go ahead, and I turned around. I made my way down, taking the funnest route possible. I made it down and loaded up, and began waiting for Jason. After a while of chilling I made it over to some guys who I found out were demoing Ellsworth bikes. They set me up with one and I took it down around some small trails. Wow the tech has gotten so much better. The front end was so precise and stiff, it felt great. About an hour after I finished Jason made it to the parking lot. It sounded like he loved the ride. We loaded back up and cruised back to my place, after which Jason took off.

I quickly cleaned up and booked it out the door heading to the theaters to see Iron Man 2 for the 3rd time with Steve and Becky. After the movie we grabbed their kids then ran and grabbed a bite to eat. I was crashing... so exhausted. So after dinner I just came home and crashed on the couch. Relaxing. I looked over my arms and saw I got a pretty good sunburn. Including a crazy burn line. So I threw a bunch of aloe on and finished off the night watching more Stargate. I'm getting through it!
