Ridin and lovin...

Don't worry, I'll keep this PG-13.....well, unless pimpin bike parts do it for ya. If that's the case you may want to clear everyone out of the room.

But first a little ridin..........what!.....I had to tease first......that's how I roll, just ask the wife.

So Wednesday's long ride was cut a little short (something to do with the 25 mph winds) but Gary and I still knocked out a little over 50 miles. I think 45 of those were both uphill and into the wind. That would explain why my legs felt like complete crap yesterday....so yesterday was a day out of the saddle....thank God.

But with the weather being in question this weekend I wanted to get out today for some miles. I went out solo and put in 30 miles on road.....and as I came rolling back into the driveway Miss UPS was doing a little drop off.

Well.....knowing what was in the box itself that's how she looked anyway. Now on to the lovin...


In the box of love we had the following:
XTR cranks, front derailleur and rear cassette
SRAM XO trigger shifters and rear derailleur
Avid Juicy Ultimate front/rear brakes
Ergon GX1 grips

Throw all that with the carbon handlebar/seatpost and Maxxis Ignitors that came over the past couple of days.........I think I need to be left alone for a minute.
Ok..........that did not take long......again, ask the wife. But one thing I'm really pumped on trying out is the grips.
I've rode a buddies bike that had the GP1's and really liked them. They were just a little to big for my hands, so these being a little smaller....we could have hand happiness.
Now go ride....I need to be left alone again.
