Zen and now

Everything came together this evening. I hopped on the Rig with the intention of reliving MBM solo. When I got to the cut-off under the bridge I decided to do laps at Badger Prairie instead. As I turned onto the approprite trail I saw a woman on an MTB coming from the other intersecting trail. When I got to Verona Road, she wasn;t too far back so I waited so I could ahve some company for the boring spin out to BP. Her name is Amelia, I think, and wouldn't you know the first person she mentions is Fang. She knows the BKB and asks if I'm headed to Quarry Ridge Park. Ummm... Quarry Ridge? So she showed me the the park right off the trail. She was there to ride with the MadFORCs groups so I thanked her for the company and I took off down the Quarry trail. Finally a trail close to home. After a lap I came out at the trail head and was greeted by familiar faces. Fang, Ryan Shiroma, Josh Giffey and a coworker of Josh's were hanging out. Those sandbaggers had met at 5 and were doing laps. So went back to riding after a chat. I'll be going back often. There was speculation it will be an alternative site for Wednesday TT's. I hope so. I remember suffering more at Blackhawk TT's so I'd rather suffer less. Everyone took off after a couple of laps. I did a couple more laps solo and headed home. 2 hours spinning the shit out of the 34x19 and an hour of trail.
