Well… I getting ready for the summer. Water proof non-leather Brooks Saddle.

I must have become a bicycle geek at some point. 15 years ago… my bike was matched. Tires/colors/compoents/ etc. Now it is a mixture of things (all quality I hope). But then I looked at the picture and doubt if most would notice or care. Yesterday it seem such a big deal all the different parts… finding a new front fender… they sell them in pairs and to get matching yellow more than I want to spend and I want to keep the yellow… so what goes with yellow but would cost less… leaving me with a spare rear… wow… its just about the ride anyway. Or should be.
If you wish to read a really inspirational story see the article by Kyle Munson about a young lady who lost six months of her memory… she rode the bike ride across Iowa last year and does not remember it. So she will ride this year for the second (first) RAGBRAI.
