Well, yeah I know that numbers don't really mean anything, but I've been tracking runs this year just to see how much I've rode. It's been that extra motivation to get up a little earlier, put in an extra run at the end of the day, and have fun ripping speed laps. It's definitely been a skill and strength booster of a year, especially since there's been almost no powder days. 52 days in, with 2+ days left. Work's a bit slow this time of the year, so I've had some bonus mid-week afternoons to ride.
Anyways, cutting to the vertical part... as of my last run today I've racked up
1 MILLION VERTICAL FEET!
this season.
My poor beat-up pair of Spliffs saw the lion's share of that, and two full seasons before, so they may be pushing the 2 million mark overall and haven't quit. I've been patching p-tex on a near-weekly basis lately, and dang near blew an edge today, but I'd say I got my money's worth out of 'em. I'm sure they've seen 100 days of riding over the last three seasons, and the right one did most of that with a bent edge and serious core shot. Three cheers to Greco for putting out a good product and offering ace support for my destructive tendencies!
PS: It's good to be back on the home hill; most days I get out for some runs with at least one set of friends, sometimes multiple sets. Some days, I just do solo missions and enjoy every minute of that, too!
