Today was just another typical day without any riding. The forecast for the day said heavy rains with damaging wind and hail. I would say that is about correct. I got home from work and didn’t have the motivation to ride being it was so ugly out. After about an hour at home, it got real nice and I felt bad about not heading out. Instead, Kelly and I took the pup for a 3 mile walk into town and back. Even though it wasn’t riding, it was worth it. Not the dog is passed out tired. My plan has worked as she is not running all the place.
While Kelly was finishing up making dinner, I went down to the workshop and finished up a mountain bike that has been about 4 months in the making. I don’t have the bike 100% the way I want it as I need to get a few parts for it yet, but I will still be able to ride it until the new parts arrive. The biggest thing I will need is a new cog in the back as it is my single speed parts used from a 26′ bike. Due to the fact that this is a 29″. The frame is a Vassago Jabberwocky and so far the bike feels nice..I plan on commuting to work with it tomorrow, which can and will be about 25 minutes of single track, so I will have a bit more of a review on the bike tomorrow. Some eye candy to glare at…

Wheelset is a Chris King Iso Front hub, a Chris King Spingle speed rear hub with DT Swiss Competition spokes and nipples that I built onto a set of Mavic A719 as I already had those laying around our office.
