Sorry for the distraction, I had to take a little ride tonight. ;-) Little espresso mid-ride...it was chilly.

@EePee, the lower and longer stem is just for you bud lol. :flipoff:

Lucky.... I could hardly get my car out of the driveway this morning. I was busting through snow drifts in reverse down a 100 yard driveway in a Mini Cooper at five in the morning. :shock: My poor Boone is feeling neglected. Spring can't come soon enough.

If you ever make it back, bring your cross bike and give me a yell. I'll take you on my commute from work which is just about all dirt, and we can hit 14 breweries along the way (bring your big bladder too). Last stop would be Grossen Bart...we can enter you in the Beard of the Month contest.

I accidentally crossthreaded one of my pedals and had to get a new crank arm....well, at least I thought I was going to be able to just replace the arm, turns out, Shimano isn't currently making any Sora cranks. So, after trying to unsuccessfully tap the threads, the guy at the bike shop made me a KILLER deal on a crank that has been sitting on their shelf for a while.

It hit 39 degrees this morning so went for a 10 mile ride... and to the grocery store. "thumbsup"

Man it felt good to get out there... longest winter ever!

Sweet ride! On a similar note, I built up a Specialized AWOL for a customer today and will be modding it when parts arrive. Holy crap what a fun bike. More or less a rigid 29er with 1x11, drop bars, and hydraulic discs. N+1 they say, right?
 
So my buddy Mike came over from the Gap (Deals Gap, he's up here from FL riding motorycles) today, and skipped a day of moto to come ride pedal bikes with me. Tough ride for me, it's my first big ride, and big climb this year. BUT, you get a 6 mile downhill run through some nice twisties as a reward, and as Mike said, it did NOT suck. I had a great time as always riding with friends you rarely get to hang out with.
