The details of my life are quite inconsequential but if you insist. Well now, let me begin....... .......I would like to obtain a Son 28 Mavic A719 wheel to match my current rear wheel along with the appropriate front and rear light so that I may commute 40 miles RT to work in the dark. At the same time, I would like to avoid exacerbating an injury that has been nagging me for about a year. Stretching and more core training should help me to avoid injury but who really enjoys doing that. In addition, I would like to convert my single speed parts to a new steel frame and look forward to seeing what exactly Grant offers later in the year. Hopefully an affordable, versatile frame that can take a load and nothing too lightweight or I'll have to look elsewhere. Aside from the material goals, I would like to do as others and lose some more fat but doing that has to be fun or forget it. This may mean taking some weekend rides and camping. I would also like to take more photos on rides and socialize with more people when riding although that has been and elusive goal every year that I make it. I usually end up riding alone on group rides and I have become tired of paying $25 to punish myself for 50 miles in exchange for bruised bananas and stale crackers mixed with Gatorade. This year I plan on a more practical approach to my riding and look forward to building my racks for my main ride so that I may carry more things when necessary. Group rides.......I don't know that I'll do them anymore.
