So I'm Dreaming of a White Easter may be a new song, since a white Christmas is getting to be rare. With a constant string of travel followed by a dang blizzard, riding days have become scarce again. While in Texas last week, I did pound out a couple good long workouts on a recumbent stationary bike, but it really just isn't the same. I did give the PB a bath last weekend, so its "Back in Black" for that bike. The Brooks b17 honey colored saddle looks pretty sharp on it. I clipped on my old MTB rear fender to protect the Brooks and rode it for the first time a couple weeks ago. I think it will work out well.
This week began the assembly of Jim's Gunnar. Oh baby. After a bit of a fiasco with him driving up here to build it last weekend, only to find out the wrong headset had been shipped, getting down to it was good. I used my Nashbar headset press for the first time, it's a thing of beauty. The cups just slide right into the head tube. Jim says "It looks like a bike", it just needs the dérailleurs, chain, and shifters put on. I have never seen a red like is on that bike. It's the purest paint color I've ever seen. So we will probably finish it up on Monday at lunch. Hopefully today will be conducive of riding. It's supposed to be sunny, so there's hope.
We haven't had much more snow down here. It has been cold and windy here, though.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until the temperatures start climbing again.
Anyway, have you finally broken down and signed up for myspace? I deleted my friendster account today and I think you were one of the only people on there who wasn't on my myspace already. (I hate myspace... but many more people seem to use it than friendster and I never updated or even signed on to friendster anymore...)
Also, I put up some pictures from Clarkson on my new Picasa Photo album (http://picasaweb.google.com/JNavarette). There are a few of you on there... let me know if you have any more good ones and I'll put them up...
