Heat Wave
Been busy since the move with work and such. Not much time for writing.
Fell off the no Frapp wagon for the last week so as of midnight Sunday night no more till after the 8 Hour. This time it's succeed or fail.
Now, we begin equipment selection. My next goal is will be to build up a set of tubeless wheels for the race. Gotta get as light as possible. Though more will need to be done around me losing some weight as I need to to ride better.

Easy Peasy
Ended up taking an easy spind around after work. Legs felt a little tight so decided to save up my energy for Sunday's ride at Macauley.
Today put $400 down on the GT 29er. And by next Thursday it will be all paid off. Then the fun of modifying it will beigin. I'm so far thinking of some light bar ends and pulling the 44T and mounting a 36T. I think that should work for now. Then later pull the STI and replace with thumbshifters.
It's been years since I had a more distance ride MTb and set up. So this should be fun and help me break out of my training rut.

Rain and Rain
20 Day's without a Frapp
$749 towards 29er
After work rode a lap of Roger's trails. Avoided some sections as the Limestone is pretty slick there. Was a good ride for a total bike time of 119 minutes.
2 Days ago started working in a local bike shop for the summer. Just to supplement my hours at the base gym. This will help alot when it comes to the bike parts and such.
Well I'm about $80 away from getting the bike Woo Hoo. Tomorrow will go in and talk with Steve to get the paper work rolling.

Extra Work
20 Day's without a Frapp
$669 towards 29er
Started a part time job working at a local bike shop. Basically a bike assembler. not much but it helps pay for the 29er in 2 weeks. Was tired so took a trg day off.
Kept drooling over the 29er all day as I worked.
The weekend should be good and hard. Especially with the road trip to Macauleyon Sunday.

Ride and 9ers
18 Day's without a Frapp
$615 towards 29er
Well a couple of days ago went into a LBS and saw the 29er I want. It's the steel GT Peace 9er. It's cheaper then anything else I have checked out. And am so close to meeting my goal of getting it.
Rode with the guy's at Collins today. Good hard ride with some good effort. The DMR V8 pedals are outstanding. Though now I may have to look into some shin armour of some kind.
