One of my bikes ( Cooops world has been a little on the slow side.)

This bike I call the Cleveland Steamer. It's a Surly Steamroller. It rides nice but the only w/b mounts are in the wrong place. It has flip-flop hub with a freewheel(45x15) on one side and fixed(45x16) on the other. It's brown.

The week in review

Monday I rode with Mikey G., Rick A., Zeke, Bob and Wendy. It was a nice pace and a nice route. We rode out to Pewaukee then out to Beaver Lake. I never actually saw Beaver Lake but I was assured it was there, good enough for me. About 60 miles when all was said and done.

Then it was off to Buran's for some food and fireworks. Nothing says Happy Birthday America like the combination of brats, beer and cheap Chinese gunpowder. Buran had a good spread, plenty o' grub for clydes and skinnys alike. Then we mounted our trusty steeds and rode to Veteran's park for the fireworks. Russell found a spot that someone taped off but were not there. He claimed squatters rights and invited the rest of us in. Good show man.

Tuesday was the 4th of July. That meant it was time to go to Grandma's house for the family picnic. Lots of food and silly picnic games. A good time was had by all.

Wednesday was back to the grind then off to the Wed. Night races. I didn't win.

Thursday I rode the Rick's with Chick's ride. It was a good ride, smooth and uneventful. Who wants drama on a ride anyway, right.

Friday no ride. Preparing for Saturday's race at Bluemounds. Food preparation and meditation.
