Friday isn't the End for Me

The daily commute will be the only riding. Bike riding today is at a minimum.

Been sick for a couple days now, but hopefully mending. Cruddy rain and overcast skies aren't helping the sickness either.

Today is busy at the shop. Last minute details before next weekends "Black Friday Sale."

I hope to get in sweet "Ho Ho Ho" tshirts for the shop before then.

Race Day

I skipped a day somehow in there.  Meaning to post last night, but time went by quickly and I lost my energy to write at all. [gallery order="DESC"] Last night I hit up the "off road" commute home.  If I make a turn down an old gravel road, it allows me to ride next to the railroad tracks and then next to Lowe's Corporate Headquarters.  During rush hour this is a key move so that I'm not upsetting car drivers sitting in bumper traffic on a 2 lane road as I fly by.  The ride is also more enjoyable and seems to shave time off. I also swapped my flat bars off the Casseroll to put back on the Misfit Fu2Bar.  I'm really contemplating wrapping the whole bar to make more hand positions available. Review of the Fu2Bar coming!

Bike Rides

[gallery order="DESC" orderby="post_name"] Have been able to squeeze in a few good rides in the past week.  Between commuting and little loops around Mooresville/ Davidson area it's been a good week.  Working on my cycling tan, and also working on getting rid of the cycling tan while out on the boat/pool!  Hope to get in another decent loop this morning after I run errands into Charlotte.
