Second day at UBI

I love the people here. The other students, the teachers, great people.

I faced the idea today that there is really no turning back. I have commited myself to twenty-eight days, 160 solid hours of concentrated bike madness.
It wasn't the time, it wasn't the money, that made me pause...
It was the realization that I was dedicating-really dedicating a significant percentage of my brain cells to bike knowledge.
For example; and hour and some change lecture on the properties of mountain bike tires...
i need to know this. ?
YES.
Most of this class (beginners) is just for redundency, but later...
Well I'm payed up through the end of the month.

28 days of concentrated bike madness sounds like nirvana to me. Are you hoping to work in the trade?

DOn't post here. Focus! haha I am thinking about taking their frame building course. I would probably build a Randonneuring frame.

Me too! I'm on the waitlist for the 2 summer sessions...I'm 4th on the waitlist for July, and I don't know about September, but the guy I talked to there said it's not uncommon for them to go through 8-10 on a waitlist before someone can make it. And he also said that the 2008 schedule will be done in about 3 weeks, so keep checking in because they fill up super quick (all the 2007 classes are full). And I just put myself on the waitlist (after seeing this and thinking of it again), so you won't be too far down if you want to do it too.

I was thinking early 2008 myself. EVeryone wants to get into it right now which has me wondering about the future in terms of demand for custom builders.
