A fine way to usher in the next year!

Your write-ups have been a great vicarious rider's view of SoCal to those 
of us less familiar to that riding environment (as opposed to snow, 30°s, 
rain, potholes, etc.). I keep reading.

Andy,

I'm glad you enjoyed the post. I really love the blogs I read from the
other coast as I've never (hope to in the future) ridden a bike in any of
those locations like your Pittsburgh.

When I think about how to celebrate the day of my birth I don't think, I
want this materiel thing or that or a big party. I've spent all this money
on an amazing machine and just want to either ride with friends or just
ride. I'm also a fan of doing something integrated with the ride like the
coffee  tea club. Not an original idea but that's the beauty of this
list-serve great ideas and friendships.

Thanks for reading.

~Hugh

2014-04-24 Thread Deacon Patrick
Awesome, Hugh! Happy Birthday! Mine's coming up soon and I am looking 
forward to whatever birthday ride I am blessed with. Last year's photos 
tell me I did a ride and got snowed on and that's when I realized I needed 
some birthday ventile!

I love your mug and whole setup. I did coffee on the trail today, but 
forgot the stand for the burner (Trangia mini stand, no wind guard). Used 
the burner on the ground and borrowed a stick from the ground to hold the 
kettle over the flame. A few melted hairs on my hands added to the coffee 
aroma. Grin.

Glad you had a wondrous ride and hope you enjoyed the rest of your birthday.

Patrick

Hey Deacon,

Thanks Brother, be careful with those palms as well you know ;-) I read the
blog not all of it mind you but a good amount sorry you have had to go
though such an ordeal. I've booked marked the other material to read when I
get some more time...then I'll respond. But in short you fall into the
margins and traditional medical practitioners are woefully unprepared to
handle folks with conditions not in their typical understanding. But I'll
get into it deeper later.

When's your Birthday?

The ride was a bit too short but I'm not complaining and I'm at work at the
moment not complaining I have a good job. The plan for the weekend is a
ride with my wife on the beach with some Germain food and beer to cap it
all off.

Doug,

Thanks! You have a way with brief words packed with wisdom. The Atlantis
had a small set back the front derailleur was problematic but I should have
it worked out this weekend. Because I used a Phil Wood BB the spindle can
be either biased non or drive side making adjustment tricky. The solution
is to set the drive side spindle at 23mm from the drive side BB shell edge.
It'll be photographed soon.

The real and more important question is when do we get to ride together
again?
