…that’s the question my mountain bike asked when I freed it from being pinned in by trash cans in a rear corner of my garage.

You see, it’s been quite some time since I’ve hopped on my 2005 Gary Fisher Tassajara mountain bike – probably a good two years for sure.

But tomorrow and Thursday it will be a faithful camping companion as our family heads to the outdoors – to Guadalupe River State Park, home to scenic limestone cliffs, songbirds and some of the worlds most creative racoons.

So this evening I gave “Tass” a little TLC. Lubed the drivetrain, adjusted the saddle height, added some lights and generally just gave the bike some much overdue attention.
“I’m sorry it’s been so long, Tass.”, I replied.

“No problem, boss. Let’s hit the dirt!”
