    yeah - I hope to go for a short, hilly ride this afternoon, but we got 5" of rain in one hr yesterday and more storms are predicted for today. I hope the rain gods smile on me! I went and got the tires all pumped up and my husband helped dial it in a bit... okay, so he's not an expert or anything, but at least it's ballpark now. I am SO excited! It is the one from Ebay... it's so pretty! And it feels nice and solid. Keep you posted

    Holy cow! I know you might want to keep this private, but where do you live!?!

    So sorry for your deluge!

    alrighty, well the rain gods did smile... I was able to ride on Friday (just minor raindrops encountered). I also rode Saturday... it's so fun! Yippee Skippee!! I just need to get a few things tweaked to get it just perfect, but other than that, I love it! I live in Northern Colorado... we had some crazy rain last week... hope it's done now. I don't mind the occasional thunderstorm, but when the whole town threatens to flood... not so fun. We have a big old flood here about once every 10-15 years... and I think we are about due.
