Joe in Missoula inspires

If you didn't already want to blow off work to go ride today, Joe's post on being seduced by - and once again conquered by the mountain will inspire you to play hookie.

He should've swapped out his tires for a pair of SOMA Xpress or maybe some WTB All Terrainasaurs though! :-)

Thanks for the link. I wish I had that kind of time to ride epic like that. Maybe someday........

What's funny is that the story is more epic than the little 40 mile ride on which he reported. But Joe gets an A+ in my book for writing style and storytelling.

We ride that many miles before 10am. ;-)

Like I need a story to cut out of work early to ride... Oh look, noon, I think I'll cut out and go ride.

Oh, and it's hard to tell in his picture, but his bike looks to be a Rivendell. I can't make out the name on the frame, but the accessories lead me to think it's from Walnut Creek.

Yeah, that's what I thought as well. But reading the rest of his stuff makes me think he'd shun spending that kinda loot on a bike. So maybe it's an old skool Japanese frame...?

Although he does have a link to Rivendell on his blog...
