After a way too long delay I finally got the cross bike up and running. Out-of-town stuff, work, sickness and my kid starting pre-school (transitions are a nightmare with 3-year olds) took their toll but I got it out for a first romp last Sunday. What was intended as a quick loop through Golden Gate Park to get the shifting dialed quickly turned into a 3-hour threshold slug-fest in the Headlands. After about 30 seconds on the bike it was apparant that I wasn't going home any time soon. I don't think I've had that much fun on a bike since I did my first wheelie when I was about 7.
Holy Crap Sasha can build a frame....and yes, the electrical tape is temporary... :)
