Mellow weekend. Farmer’s Market, morning rides, flowers in bloom, some industrious kids up in the woods, flood damage, more rain, gray skies, good fun.

Water, Wind(power), and Fargo
Tuesday, April 12th, 2011Good morning shakedown on the Fargo. Surprisingly capable bike, and even though I can’t pull in the reach anymore (I’m all out of stems!) – I was pretty comfortable on the bike path, road, and some trail this morning. Its snappier than I expected, and while it feels huge climbing aboard, I noticed that it disappears underneath me when I stop thinking and ride. Hopefully I’ll get a mixed terrain ride in this Sunday to put it through its paces – road, dirt road, maybe some connector trail. I’m thinking that the 2010-11 model will fit me better than the first generation frames. They’ve pulled in the ETT a bit, making the medium size closer to my IF. They also shortened up the chainstays and corrected the head tube so you can run a rigid or suspension fork. The Vulpines roll surprising well on pavement and hardpack.
My usual morning dirt / path loop is a bit flooded. I still have a pack raft on my list, so no mixed terrain / aquatics riding this morning.
Tesla Roadster parked in the ONE. Love the license plate.
Snapped a pic of the Fargo on the singletrack connector from North Ave. to the lakefront MUP. The Epic (Revelate) frame bag is really nice.

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011Been a whirlwind. The little one had a birthday. Lots of travel for work – Western NY, ME, NH, MA, CT, Washington DC. Then a botched attempt to get to a wedding in San Diego that ended (due to airline issues) with us staying in Manhattan for the night and driving back to Burlington.

~29 miles on the Pugsley. No bike pics. 
Met my two sweethearts for some sledding, then lunch, then a cold ride home along the lake.
Needed
Wednesday, December 8th, 2010
Needed the studs I put on last night. Good fun, but I missed the wide Nokian Extremes. Time to prep the IF for roller duty and get the Soma kitted for proper winter riding. I really missed fixed + studs. Having control of the rear wheel with my legs adds a level of confidence riding ice.
