Lady, It's HOT Outside
Is it really the beginning of February? It doesn't feel like it in Charlotte. The last three days have been in the 60-70's with blue skies and a nice breeze.
Now a catch up :
Yesterday was Monday. I worked at the shop and was able to squeeze out a 45 minute spin around Huntersville during my lunch hour. Back to the shop and showered to say hello to old friends (Sue) stopping by the shop, and also new customers picking up more accessories and parts for their new addiction.
The day before yesterday was Sunday. Sunday's in early February mean short track madness and man was the weather pulling through for us. If you remember the first two, it was freaking cold. The turn out for the first two was better than the last two, and I blame the doper bowl, warm weather and ADD. Folks want to get out and ride their bike when its super nice out, and banging out laps for 5 Sundays in a row is rough. Add the economic slump, paying the last two weeks for the two boys to race at $17 a pop is also rough. It's $22 for adults without a license. $22 to race around for 45 minutes? I guess I can't complain too much, I did it on the road for many years but my sanity was that of a 18 year old. This is the last weekend for racing this coming Sunday hopefully everyone will pull through and show up for the season finale.
Today is Tuesday. My day off and day to get shit ready for my plan to take over the world. No, not really - that's TwinSix job. On the daily agenda is to get some blogging down first thing over at CommuteByBike and then start tearing a frame to build it back up with higher end parts that suit me a bit better. I'll show photos as we go along. Follow me on twitter to see the process. @arsbars
