| 789 | 2008-06-22 | Redwood | fun | 131.02 | 8:42:06 | 15.25 | Ride to Red Wing and back with Jim, Tracy, Brian and Andre. This was plan B after the trains stopped running due to flooding in southern Wisconsin. A perfect day for a ride - partly cloudy, a bit of a light rain shower, otherwise cool and slight breeze. We rode to Afton for ice cream, then Prescott for lunch (the boxcar cafe, excellent), then across the river and down 35 to cross back at Red Wing. Cannon Valley trail to Welch to Hastings, where we had dinner at a fancy italian place on 2nd near the 61 bridge. From there, back along the same sort of route as last year, but we split up in Mendota Heights, with Tracy and I heading through West St. Paul and back via the Smith bridge. This was a really great group, a lot of fun, and the first century for Brian and Tracy. No mechanicals, and no problems along the way other than the usual soreness and painfully tired muscles. The generator LED light worked great, though Jim's Schmidt has a much nicer beam pattern, so it looked brighter. I wore chamois shorts this time, and i think i was more sore this trip than last year without them. No complaints other than a bit saddle sore, chafed nipples and slightly sore feet; legs are tired but held out fine. There's talk of doing it again in August, assuming the train and bridges aren't an issue, and i'm already looking forward to it. |

| 719 | 2008-01-09 | Surly | commute | 9.50 | 00:00:00 | 0.00 | breakfast at Al's, first real ride of the year. 17°, NW wind 6mph First ride with the icebike mitts, and they worked great. The tips of my fingers got a bit cold after 4 miles, but it was easy enough to pull them into a fist and warm up quickly. I'll bet that on a longer ride they'd be downright hot. Studded tires were great today too, lots of little ice patches with the overnight freeze. I was going out of my way to run over ice when i could. Fun! |

| 717 | 2007-12-28 | Surly | commute | 18.39 | 1:41:55 | 11.25 | work commute, then down to the Coldsprints at Grumpy's and home. 20° pretty much all day, snowy streets, not much ice. First day with studded tires on the bike, they work great. The Surly is in full winter commuter mode, with generator light, fenders, studded tires, all ready to go. I have it in the lowest gear, 42x20, and that seems about right for going through snow and the slower tires. |
| 716 | 2007-12-13 | trainer/other | commute | 13.20 | 1:20:00 | 0.00 | Sutton Lake loop ride with Chris in Florence, OR. I rode his uncle's Klein Pinnacle Race bike, worked great. Beautiful loop in the coastal forest, winding narrow road, nice lake, perfect day to ride. |

| 712 | 2007-11-17 | Surly | race | 14.37 | 1:22:22 | 11.25 | State Championship CX places not posted yet 35 minutes/6 laps First race 3 weeks after pneumonia, and felt pretty good. Lungs were ok, energy maybe 90%, but more lack of training time than lingering illness recovery. Tricky course, 2 barrier sections and the very long runup. I was happy to have the girls there cheering, even if we couldn't stay for the rest of the races. |

Another hot and humid day, right before a cold front came through. The bike crash was a case of inattention and sloppy form over a very minor barrier. Great race finish though, out-sprinting two guys who had passed me while i was slacking off. Beat the 2nd guy by about a 1/2 wheel after pushing my way past and nearly crashing again. Good times... |

Bars are too narrow, top tube is a bit short, but the brakes are fine, the frame will be ok once i get the decals off, and i'll use my alloy Rigida rimmed wheels, should make a decent singlespeed. |
| 698 | 2007-10-03 | trainer/other | commute | 8.50 | 00:00:00 | 0.00 | work commute on the Ross, i think it's done now. Got a set of redline m-bars from jim, and they feel pretty good, much better reach. Still needs a better seat, but otherwise riding nicely. |

| 693 | 2007-09-23 | Surly | race | 11.98 | 1:8:47 | 11.27 | Porkchop challenge - St. Cloud CX, C1 race. Not in great shape for the start of this season. No problems with the bike, just couldn't keep up the pace after the first lap or so. Lapped Ted, but didn't get lapped myself. I don't know my place yet, but I guess not a bad start to the season. |
| 692 | 2007-09-19 | Surly | training | 10.03 | 00:56:46 | 11.08 | Boom Island CX training night - clinic (bike carrying) and 30 minutes training race. Good practice, it was useful to test some techniques out in a race situation. Started out hard, backed off after 10 minutes of oxygen debt and focused on technique. One good bruise on my right calf from a fudged dismount and a sore right shoulder from practice carrying the bike. |

Very different sort of ride, the steering felt very twitchy at first, and the steering is mostly in the bars, not really leaning through turns. Slow up the hills, but the gearing is plenty low.

Going to swap back to the 12cm stem on the Redwood and put on some fresh bar tape. A little chain lube and it should be good to go.

Bad sleep last night, and a hot day, so i wasn't sure i'd even ride, but once i learned of the shorter route group, i gave it a try. It was just he ride i wanted/needed - slower pace with a couple of good intervals. 16mph usual cruising speed. Felt like a good workout without totally draining me, hopefully i sleep better tonight too. |

| 609 | 2007-06-04 | Lotus | commute | 8.30 | 00:00:00 | 0.00 | Work commute on the rebuilt Lotus. Still a little cleanup to do, but rebuilt the BB and rear hub, changed the gearing to 44x16 fixed(!), and replaced the rear brakes with some Coda/Diacompe 986 cantilevers from Express. It stops much better now. The rear rim doesn't want to true perfectly, stiff spoke nipples and a slightly bent rim, but much better now. The gearing is good, i was worried it would be a little low still, but i like it. It's a little slower than i would use for a road fixie, but a good compromise for the hills and loads for the panniers. |
