The start...

It's time to start something I've been thinking about for a long time. Building up a bike to ride to work. I know winter is here and I don't really plan on riding year round. (do to distance and the -30 weather) But the day will come when that chinook rolls in and i'll have the itch to ride! This bike will serve a lot of different rolls. Commuter. Grocery getter. Beer/wine getter and most of all it will get me home after a few pints of Guinness. I'll try to post pics of step by step of the changes I plan on doing. First is to break down to the frame and start to re-build the bike. I'll be throwing on some old school XT cranks and BB.

a day off...

After a long and unknown weekend. I have a day off. Though I have a lot of running around to do. Most excited about getting Hankook winter i-Pike tires in a 225/60 17inch for Émilie's Rouge. I'm stoked to see how much stick these tires are going to have with AWD. Already knowing how the preform on my VW golf.



The past few days I have been really itching for a bike ride. Getting excited to commute to work, getting groceries and the best of all, Beers at the pub with a bike ride home!!!! I will keep you updated on the build up of the bike. Émilie is calling me for dinner! New recipe ! Smells great!!!!

Snow, snow and more snow....

As Calgary pretty much shuts down because of the snow. We are Canadians right? We do live in a northern part of the world? I don't know why everyone doesn't enjoy this weather. I love it!!! I love the challenege the snow brings.

Anyways, I'm off for a few pints of beer.
