That's a good thing. If you want a little guidance in tinkering, check out Velocity coop on Union St in Old Town Alex. some weekend. Three or four workstands, volunteer mechanics on hand to help out... good guys. I've been meaning to volunteer there myself, but haven't been able to make it happen. Good guys there, though. I know several of them.

The ride in this morning was good. The rain had already tapered off for the most part, so I only had some puddles and sprinkles to contend with. Good day for fenders in any case. Short day - leaving mid-afternoon to attend to some personal business, so I'm looking fwd to riding in lighter conditions on the way home than I normally do, though I'll have to contend with the promised 60 mph wind gusts from the west. Should be a REAL good workout on the 14th St Bridge.
