snow

yes Its snowing here again. I know it wont stay but it still sucks. Ive been enjoying the warmer weather as of late. There was a small tt car race in town the other day. It was put on by the scca (sports car club of America). There was a bunch of locals out trying there import racers and maybe a few who brought there moms car. It was fun to watch on a nice Saturday afternoon. Got some vids butt my camera has been not likening me lately.
Went out on a the Wednesday night group ride the other day. It was fun 10 people showed up including 2 women. a lot of nice bikes and one from wall mart(no joke). Everyone out here seems to roll the 20mm thru axel on the front. Not sure if it makes a big difference but they all roll them out here. Some people don't like the whole rigid thing out here. Most every one that showed up was rolling full setups(Including the wall mart bike), I know sad. I got to talking to the one guy with a pair, riding a redline 29er rigid ss, He was cool. the trail is alot of up and down and very bumpy. It was fun on the climbs passing people on there full suspension bikes bouncing around.
it was a good day.
oh and that kid on the wall mart bike kept up the whole time and rode better then me(I ain't afraid to say it)
no pics for now but there might be something cool to take a pic of real soon!!! lol stay tuned

930 miles

sitting here 930 miles away from river side park. kinda wish I was back in town some times. I've been in Montana since February 1. The weather has been nice but its supposed to snow a bunch tomorrow. Ive been putting some miles on the bike when I have time. Between work and fishing trout on the weekends I don't have ass much time as back home. Plus I don't know the back trails like back home. New stuff is always good but Its not the same riding on a trail and not seeing a tree for hours. Plus the bike has been in need of some repair lately. Last summer we wernt working much so that left my lots of time to ride. nothing major has broke just lots of Little shit.

bent my seat post until the metal started flaking off. The seat just had a Little rip in it but it got some water in the pad once or twice and it was going south. and Some new bearings and some cones for the back rim. Plus I had all the nipples replaced in the front wheel cause they started breaking. Ive been drooling over some nice road bikes Ive seen around here. That might be my next purchase hmmm.


On the weekends we have been going fishing alot up bye a town called Craig mt. good times are had in Craig. the local bar is very dog friendly.
