Metal and family bike rides

Went to Iron Maiden Had a lot of fun.


Next day woke up and rode with the boy to 7-11 for iced coffee ad slurpees. not sure if a cherry slurpee should be had by a three year old at 9:30 in the morning. oh well ......

Been Having to share my parking spot at work more. Its great to see so many people riding. Some might get miffed at the idea of having to change a routine of where and what they do. but its fun to be creative to find the best parking spot.

kinda fun.

LOL... 21 gels and a fried turkey

freaked me out

im all about pushing limits but when he sinks into the black. yeah instant panic attack for me.

Surly got fixed

Thanks to D&D  Berkley for the hook up. they retapped the crank and got me going again.
word

It might be time to panic........

Yeah my big stinkin mule legs broke another set of cranks today. Somehow I pulled my right pedal free and stripped the threads. No more wheaties or EPOs for me thanks I bending forged aluminum. So the cross check will have a drive train overhaul and the 29r will have to pull early morning training ride duty. I wonder if there are cranks made out of cast iron?

MTB for the Win

So like most days when i ride this it what it looks like. The good ol' SE Draft with my topeak clipin rack mounting system. the ipad rides in the old military map case and an apple case in the fold out panniers that come out of the side of the bag. its been a amazing week weather wise. Its been in the mid 50's at night and during the day its been peaking about 78. so nice.
Spent a lot of time in the saddle this week had a chance to go on an amazing ride with some real good guys. I love riding with people. Not in the competitive way where some one wins and another loses. i Ride to have fun to spur the other person on. to try and push my limits but not to the point where it becomes anything but a good time free for all.  it was good just bikes in the woods. had some awesome climbs some great technical single track that i got video of (mainly of my left arm due to camera shifting) But we had a good time and everyone left feeling like we had an adventure. After 12 miles to begin the day i got to do the crazy idea that i would ride home from the trails....about 20 miles home. i did said thanks to my ride and began my journey on back country roads and bikes paths that lead into the heart of the city. it took about 2 hours on a single speed 29er with my iphone clipped to my chest pumping out from its little speaker the Great Bob Marley ( i don't wear headphones when i ride to blocks out traffic my phone has a speaker). About 4 miles from home with legs afire i switched to some black sabbath just to give me that extra push to get home. its been a good week. and as always a bike has made it better.
