Into the New Year

We had thought about having a New Year Party this year and then decided not to do it.  Good thing, Michelle was not feeling well.  I watched football most of the day on New Year Eve.  

Party Animals showed up for New Year!

I did not get much sleep the night before and barely made it to 10:30.  Michelle and Brendan made it till midnight.  

Michelle took it easy on New Year Day and I started to build her new work shop in the basement.  I managed to get it all framed in.

We took Monday off and again I watched football and we had Michelle's mom and dad and Micah over for dinner.  We had Prime Rib and a good time.  The Rose Bowl was the best bowl of this season!

On The Bike Front:

On Saturday I got the Farley back together.  I put a carbon fork on it and had to put a rear brake cable on.  Still need a longer cable, but this will work until that happens.

Farley is ready to roll.

I rode the Farley on Monday around town and at the local park.  Having an issue with the compression cap for the fork.  I ordered a different one over the weekend and will see it that makes a difference.  In case you were wondering I still have the Bluto and it will still be used!

Over the past couple of years I have sold several bikes and reduced the fleet considerably.  I now have three of my own.  The Farley here, Sarma Vortex fat bike and the Gravity Zilla Monster Cross/Gravel bike.

I am waiting for something to arrive and then I will talk about one of the plans I have for one of these bikes.

I hope to do more blogging this year than I have over the past year.  Should be more interesting things going on this year.

Have a great year everyone!

End of Summer

The Best Time to Bike! On Saturday I traveled with Raymond to the Bear Claw Epic.  This was the second annual race and the second time up there for Raymond and I.  We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so?  I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out.  I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good.  This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens.  I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb. The beginner awards were going on and they announced my name as first place for Beginner Men 50-59.  I was surprised, but did not protest.  Aft...

January 27, 2012

It has been a while since an update and the common cold has been working its way through the family.  Michelle and the boys have got the worst of it so far.  It has slowed me down but has not put me down.  Hopefully it won't get me completely.  It did cause Michelle to miss 2 days of work and I missed one.  We both missed Financial Peace University last night, we will have to watch the video.  It has caused me to miss some training. However, I did manage to get on the trainer 2 days this week and hopefully again tomorrow. Dad had a procedure today and all was well.  Had to get up early and pick him up.  He had the procedure at Covenant so I was able to work for a while when he was in.  We went out to lunch afterwards and then had a good visit with him and mom. This winter continues to be mild as we again are having above normal temperatures.  We had snow last night and most of it melted today.  They are call...
