I've been down & out for the past week or so. Monday night I ate something bad, (expired yogurt?!) missed a day of work, and I'm just beginning to feel okay again.
Last night was the second ever Wednesday Wechanics @ Charlottesville Community Bikes. Had two people show up and start helping. We weren't super productive bike-wise, but organizationally I think we got some things down.
This Saturday I'm tabling at the CAMBC mountain bike festival for commbikes early in the morning with Chris. We hope to get word out about the Ride the Divide movie at the Charlottesville Paramount.
The fork that I originally bought on ebay for the Rockfish ended up needing the threads on the steerer to be about an inch longer if I were to be able to use it. So, I returned it yesterday: the first time I've ever returned something on ebay. However, I'll be buying a different fork from the same seller that's actually suitable for the bike upon my refund. I've started looking for the best solution for a wheelset... with 126mm rear spacing I can put a 7speed hyperglide hub on it...
I took last Friday off of work and went mountain biking a bit on my own. Being in an unknown trail system by yourself on private property is a bit creepy. It was nice to get out and go fast on pretty level trails. My commuter is getting destroyed, slowly but surely. Using it as a mountain bike and polo bike is a horrible, horrible idea. I have a picture to post of the ride, but Rachel is out in Chaco Canyon, NM until Saturday with the camera, so I'll have to wait til she gets back upload it.
