I can only do small laps around my station... I still gotta be able to jump on the rig when people call 911.. I love working 48hr shifts, but it's a long time to not ride.
When I get home, I will change the rear tube on the Fish, the slow leak has finally pissed me off enough,
then I'll unpack and put together my new bike (not that exciting, its a CHF 350 shitter)
i telepathically told mine about a stepdown stair gap I've been wanting to try (but probably shouldn't at my age). it may end up a happy event or the hurt locker for one of us saturday mrng.

^^ don't feel like the lone ranger, last night I spun my bike around the yard long enough to get the seat height right, and I rode right through at least one surprise from my Pugs. 3/4 of an acre and I find a turd to ride over. It's a skill I tell you.
I decided to dust the cobwebs off my "other" full suspension bike, filled the tires with air, and took a cruise around the neighborhood and tried a few wheelies...
Amazing that we used to ride these things in the woods when I was a kid...
Prepping spare bike for an out-of-town visitor tomorrow:
He gets a chunkier front tire, a 9mm thru-axle conversion, a clean brake rotor, and the pedals of his choice.
Mine gets a kick to remove dry mud, and some oil on my chain.
I gathered part of the flock in for the winter ( the Blindside, Ragley, and wifes Safire). I'll probably fix the flat on the Adamant and might drink a beer and just stare lovingly at the Sunday I just finished. I'll also check my ebay bids ...we all really kind of want that cherry Italian made Marz66.
edit...I'll definitely drink a beer...I might stare lovingly at the Sunday.
Exercised it vigorously on an early ride, then hauled it down to the auto repair shop where I dropped off my truck, then rode it home. Then I rode it to work (truck was in the shop ).
It must be very happy today.
