Trent had recently purchased a Garmin GPS unit before this trip. It was most excellent. Search for where you want to go...and you're there. It got us to a Quizno's in no time.
Foxy had asked a few blog posts ago about my old, rusted out Trek 970 bike. Well, recently the flood-damaged rear wheel had been making some weird noises, so I decided that some upgrades were in order. Here is the updated 970 singlespeed, in all its glory:
New Bontrager SS cranks and ISIS BB. Bashguard included!
New Bontrager Race SS rear wheel.
I had an Easton carbon bar sitting around, so that replaced the solid aluminum bar that was on there. Also got the Salsa Pepperjack grips, bell, and headlight for those rides at night around town.
Rusty welds = scary.
This weekend Heather and I will probably be doing some more yard work or something. She did an excellent job last weekend planting the garden and some flowers. We'll have corn this year! On Sunday I have another WORS mtb race, this one in Wausau, the same course as 24-9 later this year. I haven't had the best luck in Wausau for WORS races (in 2006 I flatted out and last year I had to DNF due to extreme chainsuck), so hopefully things go better for me this year.

Brian, I was thinking that I haven't really talked to you since like Andy's wedding. So next time you come to Fargo you need to stop by or call me. 4432 48th st s 701-610-1798

That was some awesome riding and festivities in the cities. We will do it again I promise. It'll feel like dejavu.
The rust adds stiffness and vertical compliance. While helping stability and nimble-ness.
You guys must be so dirty after all that "riding" :)
So you guys wound up at the Vu huh? I knew I should have went with you.
How has the bottom bracket of that 970 frame not failed yet??? I remember you talking about being nervous about the rust like 5 years ago?
