The Bike Man Cometh
Hiawatha Cycles Jim Thill just sent me a note letting me know my bike has been shipped. I bet I wear out the keys on my keyboard that correspond to my UPS tracking number. So, in 5 or 6 days I will no longer have to live vicariously through the ride stories on BF. It will soon be my stories of daring do on these boards.
Until I have my steed in my manly-man hands I will not really be able to name her properly, but here are a few possibilities.
1. Jumbo, the Mother Trucker
2. Big Blue
3. Squealer, If you had a 375 pound clyde on your back you would squeal too.
4. Serenity
5. River
6. Dulcinea
7. Mouse
8. Liberty
Like any of these?

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Dulcinea sounds right to me! After all, I am a Cervantes fan!
Dulcinea was Don Quixote's Lady Love!

Bdinger, I got the Surly LHT with the build I listed.
Tom, yep. The lady steed that loves me as I go after the windmills. Plus, the Surly may be the barmaid of frames, but she is a lady to me. Yes I know that the literary figure was in a profession a tad older than a barmaid.

It could be that we have seen the pits of Hell and want no part of it.

Hey, with the rhyme, it's an easy oops! No worries I'm just a philosophy freak!

I am sorry sir. I blame my father's influence, but the choice is still mine today. Uncle Milt is great, but he is not my cup of tea.

Tom,
So am I, as well as a lit guy. The only thing I can say for myself is....um ....I am tired and drunk? Not really drunk but let's go with that.
For Neil's sake:
"When I consider how my light is spent,
E're half my days, in this dark world and wide,
And that one Talent which is death to hide,
Lodg'd with me useless, though my Soul more bent"

"On the return leg I didn't have to walk any grades, but I was very stretched to pedal them, even in low gears. I tried to distract myself from the fatigue in my quads by thinking of poetry, but it didn't work. " 'When I consider how my legs are spent..' No, that's not what Milton wrote," I thought."
