Father’s Day, Here’s a stick for ya…

Have you ever got a stick in your spoke or derailleur or maybe your handlebar? Father’s day presented an opportunity for 5 of us Dads to get out for an uncontested ride. Mark, member of the Mtnbikeriders racing team, came out to push the group a little harder and show off his amazing riding skills. He brought the fully rigid single speed to make things a little more even for the rest of us. He also brought along a little friend to even things out a little more…check out the pics. ]

Fortunately this happened right at the end of our ride. I heard it puncture his tire and the sound echoed through the mountains and sent young children running mothers crying. To my amazement Mark stayed vertical and his nerves unfettered; he is truly a machine.
