I DIDN'T Ride My Bike Today, Cuzz....

Too much rain last night, too much schoolwork to do today. But I did grab my ski and snowboard stuff out of the storage unit!

We open for business tomorrow. This is going to be interesting. 5-10 kids in the classroom, another 30 at home, hanging on the teacher's every word!

 

About that photo of your DHR..?

 

Why does that matter? I said it's not cooked yet. I was simply soliciting input for my next rear tire.

 

So am I and you are failing me and my source.

 

You vex me. I am terribly vexed.

 

Too windy yesterday, too dam cold tonight

 

Damn, I knew something felt off yesterday!

 

What am I looking at? What's missing? I don't know the rear end of the GG bikes well enough to see what's missing. Axle? Pivot? Reflectors?

 

Looks like a pivot bolt is missing.

 

Lazy-ass day. Great weather, day off, no responsibilities, shoulda' gone for a ride. Instead slept in, ate poorly, tinkered on bikes (shortened the rear brake cable on my Stooge), went out to breakfast-lunch (there should be a word for that), watched Dazed & Confused (American Graffiti in Austin), read some stuff on the internet. Pretty good day.

 

Messed around with my bike most of the day and rode B* tonight. Not as cold as it might have been, but 52 when finished at seven PM or so. Brrr for me.

 

Had plans for an Oaks/Weir loop today but ended up on kid duty because my son had to stay home and attend school remotely. Took the opportunity to clean up my workbench and do some derailleur adjusting. I also added some locktite to the derailleur bolt because it has been wiggling loose lately.

 

Is that a Mondraker?

 

Don’t know about the bike but it’s a damn nice looking garage floor he’s got...

 

Wasn't even planning on riding today but if I was I wasn't, cause like the toy in the machine at the arcade I was waiting to see if the giant claw came

down to swoop me up. Aka summoned for jury duty. Have to work seven days in a row plus the JD. Checked in today and have to check back on Monday

to see if my group is on call.

 

It looks like a Niner.

 

Ah, more likely. Thx.

 

Judging by the travel, it looks like a RIP 9.

 

Cuzz it's hurracinous AF this morning. Accuweather says 8 mph gusts but Voodoo weather says more like 40-60 mph gusts...

 

Yes, Corn has a Niner and its all dressed up in carbon bits. Its feather light.

 

Still rocking my 2017 RIP9 that was a warranty frame from my previous generation cracking under me when I weighed 215.

Most the parts came from the old one so not a boost fork, boostinator on my rear 240s hub, pretty much everything but tires and saddle came from the old one.

Still “rips” though.

 

How much do you weigh now?

 

~190, still could lose another 10 though. Just at 6ft tall.

 

Oh cuzz the wifey bought new Xmas lights and I was busy getting a sunburn while hanging them up...

 

Wow! That doesn't look nearly as fun as laps at Hillyer and Chilao.

 

Very festive!

 

Christmas light projectors are easily one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I can knock this project out in about 20 minutes now.

 

Family trip up to Monterey, wanted to go to Santa Cruz to get a ride in, just no time to do so.

 

That's the spirit, Santa!
