It has been a rough few weeks if we start talking about riding. Constant rain, work, and bike issues have been keeping a good man down. Hopefully we have turned a corner though and the summer will actually arrive this week as predicted.
A few of us drank semi pro Saturday evening and what an evening it was. Great company, food, and wine made the evening rip by and I soon found myself installing my BB and cranks on the new Niner frame at 2:30am. Amazingly, nothing fell off today on my ride.
Rabbit's eye view of the trail.
Here is the new frame. I will eventually have another setup when I can score a few things to build up the replacement IF but I am happy with the Niner One9 for now and the IF is still being built. I was able to get a nice ride in today despite the late Saturday night but I will save the initial ride impressions until I get one or two more good ones in. I will say, despite all the obvious differences one experiences on a new bike, I enjoyed the ride today.
I will be off the couch for Firecracker 50 which is lame but oh well. I am hoping to get a good week in starting tomorrow though and we will go from there.
OK, try to avoid a case of the Monday's tomorrow. Cheers

You guys definitely have a more advanced appreciation of wine than we do. We've been stuck on South American Malbecs, primarily because we think Chile and Argentina are "cool."
Nice steed, but it needs Rasta. Let me know when you'll be rocking the BWR...
;-)
It doesn't always go down like that but we were lucky to enough to pull a couple nice ones out between our combined stashes.
I am liking the Niner more and more. It could use some accenting colors though, will shoot you an email soon!
