I guess you have to be old enough to remember The Little Raskels to undertsand the art of playing hookie. Well, I decided it was far too nice of a day and the new ride was too clean. Yes, I called in sick but I did go to the Doc to get my prescription for Clarinex refilled. I figured it would be smart to stay as far away from Philly as possible, so I wouldn't get caught. This meant that the Id wouldn't get a rough workout. So I drove over to Clayton Park in Imlaystown, NJ. This was my first time there and it really isn't all that bad. It's a little like Allaire State Park but with some nicer climbs. I did two loops on one of the trails for about 12 miles total. I knew I loved this bike after the Kokopelli and I'm glad its in the stable. Now I need to test out the six inches on some drops. I'll save that for Sunday's ride at Wissahickon and then a short road ride over to Lemon Hill to watch the Wachovia Road Race (catch me on TV, I'll wear the yellow AM-B headband).
