Stealin' !!
It's been a busy last two weeks at work getting ready for our annual inventory that we did on Saturday. It was a nice day (for November) and it was tough to be at work again while a nice weather day went by. Yup folks, we count every board, 2x, nut, bolt, and washer in the place!
Woke up on Sunday to a beautiful sunrise and found it was going to be another nice day.
Another
So, after it warmed up a bit I got out for a ride to burn off some of the work cobwebs! Headed out to the north end of the valley until I got up to the switchbacks that go down to Glen Haven. I could not talk myself into droping down.
Turned around for the trip back to the south and home and you always get rewarded with the view coming back on Devil's Gultch Road!
And!
With the weather break of the last few days a day of riding is stealing a day from winter!
Normally the winter is for doing some maintnance on your bike. This is a work stand that I got the basic idea from a site on the net and then built using materials that we had laying around at the lumberyard and probably cost me less than $15. It works pretty well for me.
Here's how it looks with a bike. This is an old ridged mtn bike that I found at a garage sale and I am in the process (slow!) of stripping down and cleaning rust off parts and will eventually get put back together. I took this on because it is an extra large frame,(hard to find!) which makes it worth it for the tall guys like me!
Hope everybody has a GREAT week!
Ride safe and warm!
