Nonsense: You Have To Go Away To Make A Comeback

The last time that I rode a mountain bike on a trail was on March 20th, 2008. According to timeanddate.com that comes out to be 533 days, which is far to long for someone who has a blog title "The Single Speed Storm Trooper" to not have ridden his single speed mountain bike.

My "comeback" started at the ever familiar Patapsco State Park, which as not too familiar considering I got incredibly lost in the first 30 minutes and wound up in Rockburn. After some informative hikers set me straight, I pedaled around the trails for another two hours before coming out of the woods back at the Catonsville park and ride.

All in all it was a great day to be in the woods on the bike. I missed riding these last 533 days and look forward to being more proactive about my favorite hobby.

Here's to a comeback.

Getting back to the basics.
