Pictures below...

Okay, before this turns into a bike only blog, a little update on what is new and exicting off a bike and outside of the shop...
School is sucking, which is especially disappointing since it is the first semester I have been enrolled Bio-only classes. Nothing great to report; no papers, no research, no projects, basically no challenge.
The wedding plans are moving along. The wedding party has been set, bride and bridesmaids dresses have been selected and invitations choices have been pared down to a chosen few. Amy says hello to the three people that may end up reading this. We are thinking we are flying home in early to mid May, we'll start planning that trip soon.

Below are some pictures of a ride two Sundays ago. It was an epic ride, that included many crashes, tacos and beer, and me on a bike with no gears or suspension riding the shit out of it.
The bike is a singlespeed 29" wheel size (the same as road bikes) mountain bike. The group started a dozen strong and worked its way down to 6 guys on five and six inch travel full suspension bikes and one hippy on a steel rigid. I outclimbed everyone, but I even think I did a great job keeping up on the downhills. But Amy did an even better job staying with the group and rode a bunch of sections that suprised me, anf maybe even her.

Enjoy the photos!

Tacos seemed like a good idea... until the 4 mile climb up a giant hill. 

It's really steeper than it looks!  

Amy picking up some speed. 

Joel already had some speed .
