Who wants to ride anyways?
I spoke with Rob the Builder last night for about an hour. I get a warm fuzzy feeling when I talk the person who’s going to be building my bike, and he sounds like he “gets me”. We talk about riding, racing, equipment choices, and life in general. I like the way the bike looks (in my head). It sounds like I will be able to continue my “retarded monkey with ADD” style of riding on the big wheels next year.
NO RIDING THIS WEEKEND??? My wife planned a little trip to the mountains for us, and I won’t be bringing a bike. I might be wrong, but I think this is the first time I have headed west to the mountains without a bike. I guess it’s okay to miss a weekend of riding. I ‘ve heard that other people have done it and lived to tell the tale. I checked around on the internet for tips on surviving through a weekend without a bike. There’s not a lot of info out there on the subject. I am scared.
Other than getting a new bike, the biggest news on the horizon is THE BIG STAMPEDE on Nov 12th. It’s just a bike swap meet, but for a bike whore such as myself it is the opportunity to fill needs I didn’t even know I had. Recumbent tandem? How much? Twenty inch fixed gear BMX? Think of all the fun I could have on that. Not to mention that consumerism keeps us safe from terrorism, right?
Oh well, if you go for a ride this weekend spin the pedals once for me.
