It’s midnight.
More accurately, it’s Thursday at midnight and I have to be at work tomorrow. So where is this 32 year old father of two? He’s playing in the street, lit by only a solitary drop light pulling juice from three extension cords strung out like an wiry orange snake searching the concrete driveway, illuminating a set of 2x4’s. The 2x4’s are being used as benchmarks for the bunny hop competition my brother-in-law Tim and I are holding. For those not in the know, a bunny hop is when you take a bicycle and without the aid of a ramp, get both tires off of the ground in an attempt to clear an obstacle using only your own self generated force.
I am still not sure what led us to this competition, and why it went on so long. What I do know is that it’s midnight, I’m 32, and I’m having a bunny hop competition. Fun, fun.
We went for both distance and height while riding a 1,000,000 lb. Beast of a Mongoose full suspension mountain bike. Nothing like the lithe Felt RXC I’m used to riding. Oh and I was in flip flops! Danger of losing a toe was imminent. Oh and just so you know; I won.

Enjoy.
