Had a good long weekend vacation to Durango CO. area this weekend (thursday-Sunday), but REALLY missed my bike. Kept seeing all these people riding there bikes in the crisp fall weather they were having Friday and Saturday and wished I could have brough my with me. Got back home yesterday at 5:00 and took an hour long ride INTO a storm, it was coming south, towards my house, and I rode north, just because I could, and call me crazy I like riding in the rain.

I rode till it started raining on me, then turned around to ride home, turned on my blinky when I turned around, and somewhere between there and home it fell off :-( So if anyone is in Albuquerque and found a blinky on the bike path on Tramway, between Manual and Central, shoot me an e-mail, I'ld like to have it back :-) ben_inglis@hotmail.com

Ride in this morning was pretty cold, and sweaty. I'm still waiting on my Pearl Izumi Vagabond Jacket (should get here tomorrow) I can't wait to have something nice and breathable to wear. Right now I'm wearing a crappy windbreaker that is more like a sauna once I start riding. Bike mount for my photon fusion should be here today or tomorrow as well, but i'm kinda used to haveing it on my head...i like pointing it at people :-) I might just see if I can modify my bike clamp to mount to my helmet, as the "head mount" is kinda cumbersome. I did wear my "hot noggon" skull cap under my helmet today, and BOY was it nice. I bought it as an afterthought, but I'm really glad I did.
