These things are pretty cool for people who don't like to chew up their high end aluminum freehub body.

Savannah Road Ride

I hooked up with the locals in Savannah for a road ride. The shop that hosted the ride is called Perry Rubber Bicycles. A very cool shop located in the historic downtown of Savannah. The shop has been there for a year and looks to be off to a solid start. They carry a full assortment of Specialized bikes and some Pinarellos. They serve up their own coffee and a few of the employees are SCAD students so they do a lot of their own artwork for jerseys, logos, and etc. Savannah is relatively flat which was probably good for this fat Minnesotan riding with year round riders. I felt pretty good and was glad I found some people to ride with since the last time in Savannah my rides were limited with my lack of knowledge of the areas roads.

Altima

Felt liners for the rear wheel wells? Sound proofing probably, but what about all the road spray in the Mn winter that turns to slushy ice impeding wheel rotation?

Synthetic its Good

The car has been burning oil lately so I've spent some time looking into possible solutions.  It occurred to me that the viscosity of the Mobil 1 might be a good lube for the Pugsley. Based on what it was looking like in the freezing conditions I thought why not.  So far it's been great and it may even become the summer lube.  Bonus: It's only $6 for 32 ounces.  That will fill plenty of my empty Finish Line bottles.

Pay it Forward (or Backward)

I was in the drive through and I had just ordered my gourmet meal on the go and when I pulled forward to pay and pick up my food, the window worker said my food was paid for.  I said what?  The worker said the guy who just drove off paid for your meal.  Wow.  Thanks.  Did some Christmas shopping or maybe it was Holiday shopping.  I played the Microsoft Kinetic it was cool, no remotes, just a sensor that picks up your movement.  I ran track and field and after a few events I thought I was going to need a locker room to get showered and changed.  It's good to see these games are getting people up and moving.  Some random dude offered his all day  Nickolodeon ride pass upon his departure so Abby was able to get some rides in.
