Wednesday Night's incredibly hard ride. Gumby's New Presidio. Check it.







This was a hard week of riding. On Sunday we rode hard all the way to Belvedere and back. Monday took me to south Elgin and back solo. Wednesday was the night ride. We decided to go to Kirkland. Nearly froze to death with the damp freezing fog. Rode a well deserved 40 miles that night. Commuted on Tuesday, Wednesday, thursday, friday and Saturday. Today we started the week with another good 45 miler out to kirkland and back. Did some woods riding and it felt great. Rode the Salsa La Cruz and it really rode well. Hellmut came back with a bloody Muzzle. We are starting to get a bit tired of all the winter gear and dealing with the cold but we are determined and are sticking to our guns. Tomorrow we are getting another snow dump so we will be out wednesday night with the Pokey tires fighting for trail space with the slednecks.
I hope you are enjoying the cold as much as we are.

best,

Ari

Ari, sounds like you guys are logging some solid hours. Nice work! You should move to Duluth, give me somebody to train with.

Tim,
We feel the same way. They don't know what they are missing!

Outstanding work, Hellmut and Ari!

Winter grinds on in the Midwest and here in the Northeast, but preparation for Grinnell--goes on and on and on...

That randall road bridge looks like it turned out pretty nice, definitely needed something at that intersection. What is gumby riding now? an actual cross bike??!!

Ari said...

Gumby has made the leap and is pimping on a Gary Fisher Presidio Cross bike with Actual Rival Carbon on it!. It is a real sweet machine and I think he will have a blast on it.
