Clockworks Gathering Dust

For everything there is a season...or perhaps even an era.

It feels recently that while our era of mountain biking has not exactly ended, it has again shifted. We started as simple hard-tail basic mountain bikers (with V-brakes!), moved up to disc-brake more durable bikes, then to full-suspensions, then to full-on mambo-heavy downhill bikes, and finally simplified with 29er Single Speed hard-tail-one-gear bikes. We loved our simple one-gear life so much, we each had a frame custom built by Joel Greenblatt of Clockwork cycles. He did a great job, we still love our babies - but they have been gathering dust these days as we spend our mornings running and our weekends on our motorcycles!



PS - I'm blogging strictly from my newest Ubuntu (linux) install  - 9.10 Karmic Koala, UNR (Ubuntu Netbook Remix). Bugs seem to have been worked out, things are running smoothly...at least for now.

I kinda understand. I did a lot of mountain biking over the summer but for various reasons I have not been on the bike for several months now.
