Something new

Tried a Stand up Paddle Board up here in Tahoe today, what a blast. I wish I didnt have my phone as I accidently walked off the back of the board into the lake. The Iphone is not water proof!!! So when I get home I need to get a new phone then a SUP.

Pondering

I think it is time to get back in the water. It has been a bit to long since I have been surfing. Time to grab the board and mat and head to the beach, frolick with the otters, dolphins, and other marine life. Time to for and attitude adjustment.

I have drunk from the cup

Well I have done it. After debating for a awhile now I finally got a single speed cross bike for this coming season. It was a bit of coin but I think it will work out. I rode it recently with brother Bruce at the golden gate course and was able to stay with him without any trouble so I should be able to be at least as competitive as last year. That's the theory anyways.
The specs: Waterford X33 frame true temper steel, Alpha Q fork, Chris King SS hubs and head set, Record carbon brake levers, White industries eno crank, Thomson seat post and stem. all the good stuff.
A couple of pics by me.

A present for me

I just love the looks of the old Raleigh/Schwinn 3speeds, been thinking about restoring and old one when this little beauty showed up at the shop. So I said to by better half wouldn't a nice single speed be great for taking the kids to the park? And so it now is in the garage with a expanding fleet of other bikes.
Took Oscar out on it tonight for his walk worked well for that.

Oh man

I still can't believe it.. some low life scum broke into my truck and took my Salsa!!!!
Ahhh that just sucks, I am still in disbelief. I guess revenge and anger come next.

1 year on

Here we are one year later. So much has changed and yet so much is still the same.
Had a great ski trip this week, lot's of snow and the kids had a great time. Trent got to play in the snow for the first time and Shelby took her first ski lesson.


Finished a pretty successful cross season, I was outa shape for most of it, but it was inspiring to race. Bruce did a few races and seems to be hooked. Maybe we can tackle another year then a trip to Master Worlds in Belgium?
Raced this year on a Salsa Chili con Crosso, a really nice ride. I'll post more about it in the future.

new toy

just wanted to see if I can post with my new iPhone. Hope to update a bit more frequently.
