My newest frame with most of my old pink stuff off my previous two Rigs...
Yep, it has been a long time. Too long.... I haven't blogged and I haven't ridden my single speed...until today. My last day of a very relaxing spring break was had at my favorite place, Haw Ridge. I have not been out there on a bike since November. It has just been sooo wet, and I have been putting a lot of time in on my road bike and swimming long distances. It was so nice to get out there today. There were quite a bit of puddles and crappy places where people have been riding out there when it was wet. Not cool because it messes up the trails.
Anyway, Smap has to be possibly the best husband EVER. For Christmas (sort of), he ordered me an Fisher Superfly single speed frame & fork. These were only offered to Team 29'er riders and Trek/Fisher shop owners. I have been wanting one before they ever existed. So, after waiting since last August, it finally came in. Smap worked hard Friday night to build it up for me. He was able to put most of my pink stuff from my original two Fisher Rigs on it....I think it makes it pretty original. I am probably the only person who has pink crap on their Superfly SS. So, I had my first ride with Smap, Creech, Skinny-D, Pauly, and Radar....and Speed (Larry and Lois's cool dog). We did a lot of the shoreline trails and then put it through the hill climbing test. The new frame passed all the tests. I really thought I would be a bit scratchy riding a mountain bike since it has been sooooo long, but it was like I never took 4 months off of mountain biking. Plus, I was riding with some great guys, so I really didn't have time to suck too bad.
School starts back tomorrow....the last 9 weeks. I really hope it goes by super fast. It usually does actually, so I am not too worried about it. I spent my week off cleaning out my side of the garage, cleaning house, doing laundry, seeing "Slumdog Millionaire" - AWESOME MOVIE, going to the Zoo with my niece and nephew, working outside around the house with Smap, and working at the bike shop. I stayed extremely busy and had a fabulous time. I CAN'T wait till SUMMER!
That's it for now. Getting ready to go eat a yummy supper at my in-law's and I'm going to play with my adorable 9 month old niece.
Cheers.
