MS150 Registration


Registered for the MS150 last night. This will be my third year riding in this event. I have not ridden a bike since sometime in November and I really need to get on one. I have been playing basketball 3-4 times a week to keep up some on the exercise. The past couple of weeks were pretty nice weather wise but I did not get out and ride.

Did get some cool Vandal cycling socks last week.

Bike Stuff


I received a cycling jersey and shorts from the MS150 ride that I did in August. Now I have more then one jersey and shorts to use when riding.

I am currently in the process of getting a Vandal cycling jersey from the University of Idaho cycling team. Have been wanting to get one for several years but it has been one of those things that has been a luxury item. It is now an item that will be well used in my riding of the new bike.

I am really looking forward to getting out and riding again. I might get out on my old Giant in the next couple of weeks depending on the weather. My new bike needs to get the seat adjusted and looked at to make sure it is all ready for many miles of riding this summer.

Christmas Suprise


Wow! I am still reeling from one of the gifts that I got for Christmas. This gift was one that was made by someone. It entailed a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and tire goo on the carpet. It was several months in the making but it turned out to be the most awesome present ever. A new road bike for me to ride. This bike will not be used to haul the trailer with all of my stuff to work. This bike will be used to ride the bike trails.

Thanks Steve for this wonderful bike. Thank you Debbie for putting up with the bike mess as Steve built it.

All I can say is WOW!
