A sad day. We hated to see the trailer go, but the new owners are super excited and even better people.

How I felt today, in Purgatory….

 The hike is short and I did the Moonshine Run trail too. Misty rain the whole way, but felt good
 to be out.

More capacity than needed…..

Yeah me ; )

Snow again….

 

Together…. using nothing but parts from my used parts box, the Trek 930 I bought in 1994 is back on the road. As Jeremy Clarkson said on Top Gear, “I am genuinely pleased with it.”

 

Lots of mixing to make it work. All I had was a tapered square bottom bracket so I had to use an old Ultegra  600 crank, the gearing is too tall for real mountain biking, but bombing around is fun. Set up as 1×9.

I even got to use the Coda brakes that a former riding partner gave me in 1995. I must say, cantilever brakes still suck. I might take the V brakes from Deb’s bike and give her the crappy brakes… she will never notice….

Enjoying the sunshine. The tennis center director said Sam looks like an advanced beginner… hopefully I can get her to do group lessons!

After I sold my Haro CX bike, I have missed having a “camp” bike, something cheap, that I can ride wherever, whenever. Since I am off work, I pulled my 1994 Trek 930 mountain bike out from the shed… rust had taken hold, so I sanded till I got bored (read not prefect) and painted it with leftover paint from my old Land Cruiser paint job.

By now you might have guessed. I put the macro lens on the camera ; )
