Anyone wanna buy a bike? Got the kids gf tarpon up for sale. probably toss it on craigslist this weekend. He never rides it anymore and i'm funds building to get a commuter. $150 obo..





WNR was freakin sweet. Nice crowd for a couple laps of Manawa. That place is way too much fun. I can't see why i don't ride there more often. For my third ride this week, i felt really good again. Maybe i should keep this upsome how...The pic below was of the great bike swap. Trevin got mine and i got a monocog ss that i could barely reach the pedals on. It sucks being the short guy somedays..I think everyone ended up on something else by time was all said and done.




Amazing that i could keep a reasonable pace and still chat while riding. Usually i am sucking wind by time we hit the trail. Had a few that got left behind, i should have waited up. It is rare to have good legs on one of these rides, so i was giving it all i had. Oh yea, happy B day Trevin!




Time to check my auctions and see if i got anywhere... Hopefully Swanson Sunday with paul and couple other peeps. Race is next weekend and i haven't even ridden there yet...

got out today at Manawa to try and measure up some stuff for a new skills area i'm writing a proposal for. Totally unrideable. Gotta give the trail crew credit. They are getting stuff chopped up but leaving the trail blocked to try and keep people off of it. After 45 minutes of trying to get back where i wanted to be, i said screw it and left.

Headed over to Swanson to continue tweaking the bike to get it where i want to be. First lap with low pressures sucked, to much drag. Decided to go back for a fresh bottle and decided to flip the stem and bump up the tire pressures. Holy crap, sooo much better. Climbing, handling and turning are all very much improved. Gotta try some different gloves or something. Hands and wrists are really taking a beating on a rigid bike. Either way, got some laps in and feel better about the bike again.

This week will be spent building the engine for my kids car and getting it going. Gotta get him driving again so he can finally get his license. Feel bad for him but he needs to learn to drive whatever, not just small cars. I'm sure it will come with time...
