Sorry, Jakey. I'm usually up for longer weekend rides, but I have a couple of ol' college buddies in town staying with me tonight and Saturday. Lots of beer and college basketball watching. We plan to MTB in Forest Park on Saturday morning (or maybe by noon ). I might get out for a quick spin on Sunday, but I'll be worthless. If it happens, it would just be 45 minutes to kill a hangover.

Spent time last night converting my MTB to clipless for tomorrow and mounting a pair of Town & Country slicks to a back-up wheelset. Might try those out on Sunday now that I think about it...just a little cruise to clear the cobwebs.

Next weekend? I'd be up for a Salem ride or anything else. Last night at Performance I came across flyers for the Monster Cookie Metric and got excited. Huge sale there by the way. I got a little carried away: tubes, cassette tools, a truing stand, spoke wrench, dishing tool, Brandt's Bicycle Wheel book, grease, new chain, CO2, road tires and the T&C's, multi-lenses, etc. Gotta hide half of it from the wife before Sunday afternoon...
