Time to drag out that old rusty cruiser or brand new one and put some miles on it. Commute to work, ride to the store or just ride for fun. I got out my old commute converted ParkPre mountain bike and got it ready for monday. I normally commute to work almost all summer from May until October but haven't the last two years due to the smoke from the big fires 2 years ago and all the winds last year. I can't commute the rest of the year even when the weather's nice as the rural type road to my work is too unsafe on a bike in the dark. It's really not that safe during the summer but I feel better about being able to be seen. I'll probably get out my vintage (fancy word for old) mountain bikes and ride them to the store. One is ProFlex 857 with the old Girvin fork that I outfitted with all time period accessories (Ringle stem, seat post, skewers, and water bottle cages, and Kooka cranks). The other is a GT Ricochet in Tequila Sunrise outfitted similarily that my son rides.

Highly suggest that you drive -- not bike -- to our casa this weekend for tomato plant pickup. The best and the brightest are reserved for you sir. You still have my number?
ReplyDeleteForgot to tell you that one of the holes in your hive is now crusted over with mud. A Mason Bee is now hard at work. Venus also got buzzed by what may have been an early arriving Carpenter Bee this weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes I still have your number. I'm going to take the wife to a Billy Currington concert in Dixon friday, then it's fishing with a friend early saturday so it looks like saturday afternoon would work for me or sunday. My son filled one more planter yeasterday. Only one more to build and fill this week.
ReplyDeleteUnderstood. We're open on both days. If we don't answer the phone Greg -- it's cause we're digging up the yard. Don't worry. We have kids this weekend so we're not going anywhere.
