    Could've hung a right and taken G1 back. Super scenic and varied, a real good time

    I wanted to but being alone and my first time I wanted to take a path back I knew... going up some of the descents on G9 was enough of a learning curve.

    I will also say that this is way different from road racing and it was painful at first to get myself to slow down, but once I did it was very enjoyable in a different way than racing....I don't even know how to describe it.

    After I got back from Moab I was having a hard time sleeping. My wife suggested that I sleep in the truck. I think she just got use to having the bed all to herself.

    As a Steelers fan, I feel you guys. They had a similar situation just before it happened to GB. I wasn't the biggest fan of Ben. Decent QB, not the humblest person. There was a consistency all those years though.

    I became a fan when the team was back to it's defensive glory with Polamalu. Being a defense guy and learning about the Steel Curtain sealed the deal.

    (I do come from a household where soccer was religion and I didn't get into football until I played myself. I still enjoy Sunday Packer games at Stenny's from time to time.)

    I'm a little surprised by that. Were they the adjustable 2.5's?

    I'm curious how the 8112's did. I have mixed feelings about my Bilsteins, but they're holding up well.
