Knobbies part Deux...psssssttttt!

Two days in a row on the MTB. Got out after work. Put my headlamp in my pocket just in case it got dark on me. Last year Amber & I got a new water proof/impact resistant camera to replace the one that didn't survive the trip to the Dave show. Its nice since you can throw it your pocket & forget about it. That means more pictures.

It got dark on me because its not a ride @ Sac without the beloved thorn. Front tire this time. Cheap tubes are going on the shelf & Conti's are being ordered this AM. Conti's tubes have better rubber & removable valve stems so you can put Stan's in them. In the winter I always stick a vest in my pocket just in case. Once the sun went down in got really cold in a hurry even with the insulated skin suit on. The vest made the trip back to the car bearable.

BRRRR! Found out the head lamp needs new batteries as well.

A little tuning & the R7 is damn plush. Reading is a valuable skill.

Friday at work I fixed a problem on a machine that had been going on for over two years. According to the operator 5 different maintenance guys have tried unsuccessfully to fix it. It took some head scratching & a lot of beating my head against the side of the machine. Give a guy a print, a meter & a little common sense & you can fix anything.

Not my actual opponent but the same model. Did I mention the manual is in Japanese not English?

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Break out the lights. TM has spoken, the date is set. Friday Night Lights (Skip that gives you 48+hours notice). 6PM should give us a nice start on the cold & dark. Nut Sac parking lot. If it doesn't work for you tough you should have spoken up. Kudos to TM for manning up & speaking his voice for a change. So quiet and unopinionated that one.

Lights?

Its that time of year. Racing is done, gets dark around noon, temps drop to about -50F. That means conditions are perfect for some night riding at nut sac. Pump up those nobbies to 90psi, warm up the lights, bundle up, lets get in some night riding. Anyone, anyone?
