The Gravity Beast

So here is that wacky gravity rig I spoke of last post. It looks a bit different now (only 4 hours later) as its missing a rear shock and a chain...two problems which will be solved in the not so distant future.

Never Good Enough

So as it turns out I go through bikes like some sort of "bike pimp" (at least thats what Adam calls me) and I have wrangled myself another beast. This time I have moved around some resources and picked up an unlikely candidate...a Downhill rig. I know, I know..."where are you going to ride that" and "did you have a dumbass attack" has already been tossed my way, well...here is the deal: As fate would have it, my old man happens to live in Rapid City and Angies mom is going to soon enough be a resident of Piedmont...which will lead to us going out there at least once a month with the baby coming.

In preparation for the monster I purchased (it should be here by wednesday of next week) I bought myself a pretty group of Race Face armor and a stellar 661 full faced helmet, so this ought to be really really good....or really really bad. Oh, I almost forgot...the rig I am picking up is a 2007 Norco A-Line with a 200mm Marzocchi 888 in front and a freshly ordered 2010 Fox DHX RC4 soaking up by big ass in the back...hopefully this overkill beast of mine will be on some Leaders Park runs in the not so distant future!

Bike 2 Work Day 'n Stuff

So the Sioux Falls Bike 2 Work Day pancake feed was a successful venture this last Friday morning, Sean G. even suckered me into getting up at 4am and help him set up and man the Harlan's table....all in all, another good thing for cycling in the Sioux. Aside from that, the Bunyan's 2 Bobs ride is quickly approaching...I'm sure it will be a good one as well. Speaking of B2B, I hope I am able to make it to be quite honest....the human being that is in Angie's ever expanding belly is scheduled to make an appearance somewhere near the June 4th date, expect to see this guy tugging a KHS kid trailer behing the 'check. On a side note, SAGBilly (aka Jon Ron) and I ran a glorious pub crawl last night and even managed to make it out to Toppers (ex Brass Rail) try that place on for size, I HIGHLY recommend it!
