The Monkey is not Dead

The monkey was finally able to clean all the bike grease off his paws and find some time to sit at the computer. It was a wild monkey-party of a summer, with many miles of off-road action, hairy legs pumping and baggys flapping in the breeze. Its hard to believe its almost time again for the ice tires.
2008 was a good year to be a Baggy Hairy Monkey. Here are some things to be thankful for:
