A complete...

...fleet again!

The replacement frame Ive been waiting for arrived and it looks great!

After a little slow start of Friday and no riding partners I opted for a road ride. Did my regular Fish creek loop but for a bit of change i did it backwards. Since it was Friday, work day for most, i figured little trafic on the pathways but it was busier than id hoped. Ride was ok, good way to get my 3 days of life started.

Picked up the new frame and since it was late didnt really plan on building it but I couldn't wait. By bedtime I had a bike that could be ridden and only one washer left on the table. Still not sure where it belongs.

Saturday started early with some Olympics mtb; both Norway and Canada with huge medal contenders. Unfortunatly not their day.
Packed up and did a shorter ride with Craig; Ryan joined us fir the climb up Prairie View on his single speed. Craig and I continued on Racers Edge and up Quaite and back down Jewels. The bike worked great besides no rear break and a very tight crank. So another afternoon working on the bike. Now I had two washes left on the table; but a bike with proper crank spin and breaks that worked.

Sunday started much the same; Olympics mtb. Nice work by Kabush with an 8th place. And great race with a fun finish. Then off to Bragg.
Plan was Bow80 but since we were not prepared for the new addition of JP and had some stops to chat with some other riders out we ended up doing mostly last years course (excluding mcleaod creek? loop?) but added the Husky road climb and down shoulda. Went down race of spade to convince Craig of the awesomeness it is....not sure I succeeded but I had fun and a ride ended with big smile.
Good three days or riding, maybe not the volume needed to catch up the four days in the north but it'll come.

The new frame held up great but hearing stories of the 2013 edition :).....

Happy Riding!
