Bike Fitting and New Parts

I somewhat recently went down to the Bike Hub and recieved a very professional bike fitting from Rebecca Cleveland. I wasn't having any issues I just wanted to make sure everything was correct before I started putting in lots of miles. And it turns out I have pretty good mechanics. The price was reasonable and they set up my road bike too. This last weekend I went and bought a pair of Captain tires and a new Saddle. I also finally had them order a Q-rotor chainring. Hopefully the snow will start melting soon so I can start enjoying the new parts on my bike. I am however taking some satisfaction in the destruction I am inflicting on my trainer tire. First Great Dane is only 6 weeks away. See ya outside...

Yep.

Longtail or Bust!

I finally made it today. I think this morning was the nicest day of the year so far. I left home to brilliant sunshine and temps in the teens warming into the 20s. A brisk south wind pushed me towards my destination. I didn't warm many layers and still was sweating quite a bit. I looked it up online and it was 6 miles one way as the crow flies. But, Duck creek zigs and zags so I know it was longer than that. The snow on the bay was so wind swept and compacted the skis barely bit in at all. The ice was mostly flat and smooth except out by long tail you can see there was a large pressure ridge. An Ice fisherman on duck creek said the Ice was 30" thick. Not long after that I was passed by a minivan. I thought "you don't see that out at the Reforestation camp". So all in all a good morning. I think I got sunburnt. Will I make it outside tomorrow???

A YBS Kinda day

Kinda a Blah winters day for me. I hung out witht the girls in the morning. They were nice enough to let me do about a half hour of yoga in the morning followed by an hour on the bike. Then a trip to the library to let them have some fun and pick out some books. Then nap time for the youngest(and for me too). When the wife cam home I went skiing out to the bay. I tried to make it to Longtail but, ran out of time. We had some plans. I know some people got out on the roads today. Hopefully I can do that soon. See ya outside.
