Night rides are in full effect. Vampires beware: I will be out hunting. Main objective is no exposure to sun. I am on drugs that make it so I can't be in the sun for long periods of time. Or I could roll biker style and rock a bandana. Which I'm totally going to do by the way.
I am looking forward to getting out on some night rides though. Too bad it isn't winter and that the days are the longest for a 4 week period of the year. Oh well the days are waning. And at least it will force me to get on the mountain bike one way or the other. I'm totally jonesing for some Levis Mounds singletrack right now. I've been having dreams about them.
Oh well PBR and night rides for now. And Levis will wait til September. I decided that's when the Gold Label will get popped as well. I also might have to make a trip down to Missouri to do some riding in August. Any suggestions?

Compact version.
Last 30 days. Got drunk. Wrecked. Got a couple of stitches, chipped half a tooth. Still healing. Got a new road frame. Roubaix Pro SL. Barmac bars. Rebuilt old Record/CXP33/ Competition rear wheel into Record/RR1.1/Revolution. Used my 24h DuraAce/Venus/ Revo front for a light combo. The thing is a beast and rides like the wind and is super comfy and at home on everything from flats, to climbs, to shredding some gravel.
Things continue on in the shop and I am gassed after a bunch of coworkers being in and out. More out than in. I am in need of some serious mileage. I am getting out in the am tomorrow for more road miles. It is a good thing I switched to a lighter road bike seeing as I now live in Portland, WA (a suburb of Iowa City IA.) We are currently in the rainy season and won't be able to ride mountain bikes til August more than likely.
I am also collecting stuff for my future Winter Bike Project. So far all I am short is a Surly 34t Chainring, Salsa guard, X9 short cage derailleur, 9spd shifter (grip or trigger), Thomson stem, 73x110mm square taper BB. I think that's all. Oh and a frame and fork. I'm thinking Karate Monkey or maybe a Misfit Cycles DiSSent or even a QBall. Or maybe I might have a little something else up my sleeve. If anyone has any of those parts and they want to rid themselves of them let me know.
