    My bike is back, and I'm ... puzzled.

    My bike arrived back today. YAY
    So now I've started putting it back together. Only problem is ... last time I did this, I'd taken it apart myself. This time it was packed by a pro. I'm not sure I can work out where everything goes. Oh well. I'll give it a try. If I have any parts left over, I'll put it in the back of the car and head for the LBS for some assistance. They owe me a tune-up anyway. And I'll need to borrow a tool to get the pedals on snug.
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    So how'd it go, Bikeless?
    All back together now?
    Or still a jigsaw on your living room floor?

    Where had your bike gone? Do you two often travel separately?

    No, not exactly a jigsaw on the floor. It's pretty much ridable, and only took 15-20 minutes to get that way. There is one plastic bit left that I don't know where fits (looks like a 2-inch stick with little wings at either end), and something wrong with the seat post (maybe that's where the plastic stick goes?). I stopped by the LBS this morning to ask if they'd give it a once over and correct any errors as part of my freeby tune-up. They said yes. So I'll walk it over there tomorrow, since the rain seems to be letting up now. (We even had *snow* Thursday night! Aaaargh!) The bike, meanwhile, has been resting up in California after the Cinderella Classic. What with the predictably unpredictable Wisconsin Spring weather, it's no wonder the bike was in no hurry to get back here. Anyways ... if the rain _does_ let up, then I can ride the bike home from the shop Monday night and start participating in the daily ride thread.

    Bikeless,

    Just looked in my trunk, I have your lock (thought I gave it to Chris, guess not) I can ship that to you. I also have the big fat knobby tires since you changed to slicks. Let me know what you want me to do with them, I'm having dinner with our mutal Mom.

    Bikeless travels enough (just these last few months Chile, Scotland....is there anywhere she has not been) that I think your next bike has to be a Bike Friday.

    woops. I will need a lock. Mmm. How about I buy a cheap one here, sell it along with the bike, then take that good one home with me in June? As for the knobby tires ... ebay? Ask if Chris has any mb-folks who'd have a use for them?

    Lots of places I haven't been, yet. But I'll be crossing off another in July when I go to South Africa.
