Errand
Date: Dec 28
Mileage:8
Ride type: Errand
Bike: Trek
Temp: 50F
December mileage: 361
Year to date: 2590
A beeyootiful day in the 'Ville, but it ended up being a day of much technological wrenching. As stated, I spent the morning reconstituting the AV equipment. then, lunch with some former students, all either graduated from college or seniors this year in college. A great group of guys (nice alliteration, no?). Oh, that's where the riding came in. all morning i had planned to take the fixie up to our lunch location, forgetting the front flat (more alliteration). instead, i jumped on the Trek and used the German military 'man purse' to cart my lock and stuff. the long way home afterwards gave me 7 total miles for the day.
Then the bike building began (uh...you get it). I'm slow, non-methodical, and have no real skills, but the build was pretty straightforward. i had it riding just around dark and only went out for a mile or so, maybe a little more. early returns are VERY promising. tomorrow a more thorough update including pics. but first tomorrow a.m., a ride. VERY promising (and notice the Bleriot blue font)
