The misconception that I never wheel?
These are conservative estimates...
Since January 1st I have 30 trail days total, with an average of 12 hours a day (I'm not counting any camping, this is actual wheeling time)... so I've been wheeling for 360 hours this year. Granted not a lot of those days were on rock crawling trails, but they were most defiantly not paved roads. I only know two people who may have me beat. Kurt Williams and Jeff Ross.
A fair share of those days were riding with people.... Some people can't stand to do that, I do it for a couple reasons.... honestly the only thing that keeps me off the hills EVERY day is that I can't afford the fuel to wheel as much as I would like so reason 1) any day I spend riding shot gun is a day that I might have had to stay home otherwise... 2) wheeling with others gives you a chance to get to know people, and gives you the opportunity to see how different things work in the real world.... power trains, tires, axles, suspension components, suspension designs..... Wheeling strictly your own junk year in year out would take you decades to gain a broad base of observations on these things.
I dunno, I've just always found it funny when people sitting at home or at the office tell me I never wheel.
