OMG so sexy! (and a great weekend)
So my bike is about ready for Vineman… (click here for a bigger pic. You can ignore the mess in the picture… we are also in the middle of moving and have to be done the weekend after Vineman so you can imagine the craziness) I still need an adapter for the presta valve so…

mmm bike
My bike is getting totally sexified for Vineman. It’s gonna be so hott… I just hope I don’t get so distracted by it that I forget to pedal! Upgrades round 1: new Continental Grand Prix tires (black) and a new xlab rear bottle cage setup! The color isn’t great in the pic (phone camera) but…

done done donedone
It’s in the mail… Jer, Lisa and I have now been committed. To Vineman (then we’ll see where else they commit us to…). It should be awesome! Ran this morning, and it went alright. It was basically still dark, and with some tunes on very low and the morning noises it was calming and great.…

The 3 Little Applications that CAN
There are 3 Vineman apps sitting next to me right now. Just gotta walk across the street to the postoffice either today or tomorrow (depending on time) and then Lisa, Jer and I will be set! This weekend was fun. Jer came out here, and he and Lisa and I went for a bike ride…
