This Bike
Doesn't go very slow.
Ben-Bicycle photo shoot, where you at?
Patrick-How's my tee?
Diane-Hipster status; acheived?
Matt-It's a true 52cm with a 21.5" TT (a nice mix of metric and imperial data there)
Chad-Steel is not fake.
Steve-Get your bike onboard the boat yet?
Everyone else-I've been threatening to go fixed for a long time now, so there ya have it. Skidding is awesome. It's a bike I got from Keith at A-1, around '99 or so. I believe it to be a '77 Windsor; I'm basing that year on the Dura-Ace that's hung on it. Windsor's, from what I've gathered on the internets, were made in Mexico by an Italian and branded with an English name. British racing green, some stripped seatstays, and I'm on my way.

Philll
I had a marvelous idea yesterday that centered around riding bikes in the rain. I was gonna go solo, but then Phil thought it was a good idea too?
So we crawled up this ridge and then rode across some little trail that followed this ridgeline. It was pretty windy and the rain was trying to turn to snow. You could see (or fall) in either direction, for a looong way.
The dirt was great though, it holds so much water out here without softening. I was running semi-knobbies and sliding in and out of those dustless, tacky turns was great.
It was so cold while ripping down that I couldn't feel my hands for about forty minutes afterwards. But I think we got some good images, so a little premature arthritis is just part of the game, right?
Maybe I'll post some of the riding photos too, but that'll have to wait for now.

Snow
Like, a lot, of actual snow. Spring in the mountains I guess, right? It should at least keep the dust down on the singletrack for a while.

Sea Odor
Out and about in Monterey.
Such a beautiful place. But, it's gotta rain really hard for it to be this nice. I can't really think of a reason to justify the wind though. Hanging out with World Champions and celebrities is interesting. Overall, they're great people. I'll post some outtakes at some point...
