I get to pick my bike up today!!! GHB they fixed my cable... don't know how much yet. I can't wait to ride. Think I will take it to work thursday and after I am done see if BST behind WSU is looking good or not.

It's about time. :wink: jk
I've already had the old bomber out on the ice a couple of times and the foul weather commuter is already edging towards 200 miles for the year. You need to come and ride up here in Logan. That extra 10 degrees makes it feel like constant lactate threshold training. It puts hair on your chest.
My legs are really talking to me today. I went car free for St. Patty's day figuring I wouldn't want to drive after celebrating with my fellow Irishmen down at the pub after work. Riding a half dozen, mostly uphill miles on a boat anchor heavy touring rig after a half dozen pints feels the same way.

I hope that the BST might be a little drier up north by friday, either way I will hit the slc portion cause that is already dry since it didn't get pounded by as much snow as ogden! I cant wait for the trails..this road riding is great but just not the same!!

Janet and I are riding BST tomorrow after work.
Picked my baby up and they fixed his cable but it does not match the other cable. This is driving me CRAZY! I guess they didn't have THAT cable in stock. Grrrrrr. How can they be so insensitive to my bikes needs. He is not happy.... maybe tomorrow will make him happy. He can get dirty. :haha:

I thought I was the only one who agonized over stuff like that. I do my own work though, so I'm pretty good at keeping it a secret. :lol8:

I can be rediculously anal about certain things. Apparently the bike is one of them. I figured I am not the only one on this forum that is particular about their bike or other gear. They just are afraid to admit it. :haha:

can you let us know as soon as you check it, please

DAMN girl! That blows big chunks :frustrated: I no of no one more anal about thier bikes than me :haha: Yesterday I just blew out the lower seal on my RockShox Tora...guess what I get to rebuild :nod: SO I get to ride my RockyMtn big cow - I just went through it though but it's not a real cross country commuter :lol8: Did you have just a cable redone or new housings as well? I bet I rebuildt 10 complete brake systems just in the last two weeks :eek2:

I'm sorry about bailing on you! Jeff and I did it today and it was awesome. No pictures though. We did BST and then did Birdsong out and back. I'm feeling it now.
