Takes another XTERRA ambassador to make my day!

Fab Frank Febraro sends me an email today. I read it while I was in the THICK of the work pile I am trying to finish by the end of this month....
His email is asking to stop by and head out for ride in Philly. I called him right away and said "let's roll! and what is your ETA in Philly?" Stacy (Frank's wife) and Frank were staying with Stacy' bro in Bucks Cty. They drove into my hoodie, and off we went to Wissahickon! It was their first time riding Wiss. We did an hour ride... heading from Wises Mill to the Slider and took Forbidden Drive back. They were in a hurry not to be late for the brother's house, and they are also racing Schiff Scout this Sunday... so a nice loosening of the legs on the dry, fast, trails of Wiss made for a perfect happy hour for all of us!! It was good to see them, and catch up!
I hope they kick ass in Lawn Guyland! me? I will be up to my ears in paint and putting finishing touches on my apartment to show this Sunday afternoon.... the joys of being a landlord!
If you are an XTERRA athlete coming to Philly ...and looking to ride the trails in the Philadelphia area email me!! You can skip the Liberty Bell tour... Wissahickon is the gem of Philadelphia!
