A copy of "The Ride" arrived today. 145 pages, lots and lots of photos, over 50 short stories (I even wrote one + Richard Risemberg, and many others). It's issue #1 from Philip and Andrew Diprose from Great Britain. Check it out - just 1,000 copies 
available at 7pounds.
available at 7pounds.A 56cm Ritchey Break-Away Track showed up at the office door today, so I had to put it together and give it a test, right? First Nils and I rode up to Suttons Bay, we probably rode 30 miles, Nils on his Marinoni with 49x16 (15?) and me with a 34x14 YOW? Good for my spin Nils says. Also good for just burying me on every downhill. I forced him onto the Leelanau Trail (unpaved two-track) for about a mile. He says he was taking it easy because he didn't want to flat. I think he was just scared to wind out that big gear. We got back about 6, and then I hooked up with a much younger group of fg folk and took them up Paper Birch Dr and back. We did a few fairly fast laps around a residential block - they'd never ridden a paceline fast through 
corners. Shit they did pretty good, thought it was pretty ok. Showed them how to ride in a chevron in a crosswind, few other things. We rode about 15 miles or so, 4 of the 5 had never ridden that far before. They were all about 20, except Erin - he's 24 I think. Wore 'em out.

Earlier in the ride we bumped into Jonathan and Mark doing some Trials riding on the steps at a law office. Jona
