This is for a particular ride that starts on Thursday. Let's just say that it is going to be an epic ride that kind of requires some advanced navigation tools that are mechanical, rather than electronic. :cool:

I found myself in the woods a few weeks ago trying to navigate with an iPhone compass. I longed for a real one because it sucked.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. It starts on Thursday morning at 8am.

Also, there will be a ride report. Maybe.

Interesting. My first thought is LOL, WUT? But on the other hand, you're not unskilled in the ways of BBQ and grilling. I may have to give yours the old once-over.

While not entirely new, I now have a complete and shiny bike again, with some new pieces and new tires. Just need a black reflective shark now. One got "rubbed out" so to speak.

That took a while, was it an issue of waiting on parts?
