Ride Report: Last Ride of 2011

28 Dec 2011

A month or so ago, Cruzman said he had some days off after Christmas and hoped the weather would be nice enough to get in a ride.  I hoped that I could contain my spending and still have money left for a ride!  As the days grew closer, we learned we would be able to ride after Christmas it was just a matter of which day.

Ride Report: Christmas Day

25 December 2011:  It's going to be a rough day.


At least I expected it to be since it would be my first Christmas without TheMomma.  I didn't have to cook this year and didn't have to be at my family's house for the festivities until the afternoon.  What could I do to keep busy and not think about Christmases Pasts?  Ride, of course.  When I checked the weather, I knew that it would be iffy, but thought I could beat the afternoon showers.

FZ1 Mod: Auxiliary Lighting Revisited

The fork swap necessitated a different style of front fender that required me to review how I mounted my Aux Lights.  I wanted to retain the low position that gave me the high visibility triangle pattern.  I also discovered a little problem with my lights.

Ride Report: Suspension Setup Ride

4 Dec 2011
I was so ready for this ride I had my things laid out on Wednesday!  I still wasn't sure where we were going.  Cruzman mentioned Blood Mountain as a good place to start the ride but what would we do after that?  The night before, I didn't know what time we were going to meet.  I got a late email letting me know the usual spot at the usual time.
