My last mountain bike ride

Until just recently I hadn't really been riding at all having taken a year long hiatus or so. And since switching over to the road bike I've rarely used my mountain bike at all. Gone are the days of meeting a select group of friends and riding 25 miles in the pitch of night with only our HID lamps to light the way. As much as I love the road bike, I do miss the trail riding. Here are some photos from the last ride I remember -- from 5/08 -- with some teammates and friends. The route took us up Alpine road to a fire road that led to Page Mill and then Skyline. We rode some single track along the ridge and then took a fast descent down and home. Not sure what the distance was, I'd guess 20 miles.

Lance returns

Rumors are floating about that Lance Armstrong will come out of retirement to race under his former coach with Team Astana for the ’09 cycling season; this would be wild.
