Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Sad Ride
I drove up to a trailhead all ready for a couple hours ride, rode one mile up the trail and decided to stand and hammer up a little hill. Didn't realize my gearing had my chain crossed and I broke my chain. Considered doing an on-the-trail repair but since it was mostly downhill from there I coasted out. I had to "Fred Flintstone" back to the car, as I didn't want to walk and my seat was lowered for the downhill anyway. So my little hardtail is at the shop getting a new chain (she was due). While I was there I test road a little 14" Gary Fisher WSD Cake2 GS full suspension bike... to be continued???

Last night's ride was pretty cool. I rode a twenty-eight miler down to the observatory where I work part time and as I was turning into the park entrance, the full moon had just crested the bluffs in the east. It had an awesome pink tinge to it that later turned to a beautiful yellow later while we had the telescopes on it.
Oh, I just found my new LBS as well. I came home from Wednesday's ride with noise in my cassette/hub area. Took it yesterday into a new LBS I had been advised about and told the cute wrench what my symptoms were. He took my bike for a spin in the parking lot, then put her on the stand. Fifteen minutes later, he had repacked the grease in the hub, tightened the spokes on the rear wheel, cleaned/lubed the drivetrain, and inspected the cassette. When I asked what I owed, he said nothing!
Wow! I will certainly be doing more business there.

Oh yeah!! Give that shop LOTS of business!! My LBS did that with my sons bike. He has some shifting issues and they fixed it up right quick. He didn't charge me either. I was shocked!! The lbs is part of a big chain (well it was- supergo) so I sent an email to the corp. office praising him. Corporate sent it to the store and they had it hanging in the shop. pretty funny.
