Waiting Game

Still waiting, not patiently, for the end of the year.  Or, at least to build up my new-to-me frame.  Pete had a frame that was too small, and I was done dealing with horizontal drops on my Soma.  It was a great bike, fun to to ride and race, but the two flats I had while I owned it were not fun.  Walking two hours out of the woods in carbon soled shoes is not a good time.  So, now I have to wait to get the parts from Vermont here to the frame so I can build a mountain bike and ride it for the remainder of the time we are in NH.  

Anyway, today Aliza and I went for a run at the dam.  We escaped the rain and made it through the cold.  The trails look to be in great shape, with a lot of raking done for a nice, tacky base.  Yesterday was a great set of intervals on the road bike.  I limped home after 8 sets, and I am trying to avoid going upstairs at all costs today.  Not easy to do when I live on the third floor.  

I am hoping to have the bike built at least for the 17th of May.  George from Five hills bikes has a really cool race going, which validates the property taxes we have been paying for the past two years while living in New Hampy.  

Hope it goes well.
