trip to ray’s was a resounding success. that place is so much fun and so exhausting. i learned backflips and 360s and toboggans and 3 stars into the foam pit. rah. only sent one guy to the ER. i am the king of the pump track. cleveland makes wheeling look like san diego. road rage is scary.

gearing up for a weekend trip to Ray’s MTB Indoor Park in Cleveland. leaving early friday morning, coming back sunday night. should be an incredibly fun, exhausting time.

rediscovering:
lazy cain – 5days80hours
old 97s – too far to care
lungfish – talking songs for walking
the vehicle birth – tragedy
