I had some quality bike time today: Put on new tires & tuned up the GF's bike. She's now rolling on Michelin Pro 4 25s for that extra cush. Then I treated the Capo to new bearings for the rear wheel & a bigger cog (47x18).
After all that I put my winter junk into storage.

Spent the last couple of days at the co-op which was pretty cool. Working on old bikes is an experience.
Today, I went to the beginner session at Hellyer. Hooked bars during a bumping exercise, and went down. Only going 10-13 mph, so other than a tiny scrape on my knee, glove getting a little torn up, and my bar tape getting a little scuffed, nothing bad.

Today I sold $800 worth of random parts at the Brooklyn Bike Jumble. Several friends stopped by, the weather was great except for a thunder storm at the end of the day. The only downside: I didn't score a single sweet deal of my own!

thanks! We finished two hours ago and are heading home in a friend's van. It was one hell of a ride. During the final twenty miles to the last checkpoint, before dawn, we were going along the coast and Milkyway was visible above. After dawn, twenty miles to the finish, I caught sight of some whales, the Channel Islands were clear in the distance, and then we saw a ghost bike
I don't feel like a zombie like I did last year

I went to the race in downtown Sacto today. I stood for three hours in the baking sun at 20m to go, my head was sticking over the rail in the course whilst almost catching a mouth full of handle bars. It was sweet. Stage 2 is 5 miles away from my house should be equally as fun.
