Today I put a flatbar on the Puch and tried it out. Like it better with the flat bar.

Devil's Week 600 by pdewey2 at Garmin Connect - Details
Garmin is wacked about the elevation. This ride had 7500 meters of climbing, give or take.
75gi is too tall. I'm going to 70gi or so the next time I do a ride with this much climbing.

Today I took my first steps without crutches in two weeks! I had a fairly low-speed spill while wearing flip-flops and messed up my left foot (chipped bone, 8 stitches, swollen as hell until a couple days ago). This is the first milestone on the road to recovery and it feels sooooooo good.

Today I finally got to riding dirt with the Straggler. I kept my road tires on but it is begging for some monstercross tires.

Went to the SD county fair with the sqrl. Ate all the food and lost all the games! (well except for one, the last one)
One of the best fairs IMHO.

Today, we drove home from Door County, where we camped since Friday. Yesterday, I rode a century on my fixed gear bike.

Today I rode, chilled in the Cemetery with a few beers and just relaxed.

Today I fit a 29er 2.35" front tire on my Straggler. Needless to say, I am very excited by this.

It's a tight fit that doesn't allow for much wheel flex at all, but it confirms that I can fit some narrower 29er tires with less aggressive tread no problem

Not too bad. There are some hills, but nothing too tall or too steep. This was actually the third time I did that century fixed, so I knew what I was getting into.
