Waiting For A Tow
It’s been a year and a half so I guess I was overdue. And my tires are almost brand new. Ask me how much fun it is to push a 400 pound bike with a flat tire out of the 3rd floor of a parking garage sometime. And now I’m waiting for the tow guy!
The February Fakeout Is Over

New Gear!
Spring means new riding gear! I’ve just picked up a pair of Stylmartin Rocket boots (CE approved!) and Racer’s women’s Short Sport 2 gloves. First quick ride with them today proved both to be comfy. #atgatt #springriding #gear

2018 Starting Mileage
Only did a measly 5,333 miles on my F800GT in 2017. It was almost all commuting, since we only took one trip to Hood River this past summer. Hopefully 2018 brings more riding!
