The Wheels Are In Motion...

It had been a few weeks since I made the Friday Night Ride, and after a long work week I was considering skipping it again.  Ultimately thoughts of warm weather, good company, beer, and dry bike paths changed my mind...

It was a larger than usual crew, which was nice since it was a faster than usual pace at times and the good turnout meant I wasn't the only one at the back of the pack when the speeds picked up.  We rode a slightly longer version of one of my favorite loops, albeit the opposite direction I usually ride it.  What goes up, must come down, right?  In general I prefer gradual climbs and steep descents over steep climbs and gradual descents... we rode the loop in the 'steep climb' direction.

Friday night was my only ride of the weekend, but it was a good one.  I'm looking forward to many more night rides (with beer stops, of course) from now until the snow flies again next winter.

The other bike-related activity I devoted time to this weekend was building the stand for my frame building jig.  I only got one leg of the stand brazed before I ran out of light, but it was nice to finally braze something at home with my own torch.  Depending on the weather I should be able to finish the stand later this week.  I should have pics of the jig mounted on the stand for my post next weekend...


Stopping is half the fun...
