New Bike

This entry was posted in Comments about Cycling on by .

I’ve been doing busy work all morning trying to finally get my new bike together today. Now I have to do the drive up to Irvine, to Shimano, to get some parts. I don’t mind having to go up there. I like catching up with Wayne and the guys in person. Hopefully I’ll have enough stuff to put it together tonight and ride it tomorrow.

My friend Vincent, from Arvada, is flying out here tomorrow and I’m looking forward to showing him some of the rides in North County. He was out here late last year, but was staying in downtown Sand Diego, so didn’t get much of a chance to head North or East to see the good riding.

I’ve also been trying to make contact with someone at Redlands about finding a team to ride for there. I haven’t been on an official team at Redlands since I rode for the British National MTB team way back. There were only 3 of us, which is odd, and I’m not British. I hope it works out somehow.

Okay, just a short update. I need to get driving. I don’t want to get stuck in traffic on the way back down.

My new Eriksen frame.  I've had it awhle, just never had the chance to put it together.    It's all internally routed for Di2, with a custom holder for the battery in the seatpost.   I'll post more about it later.

I saw this cool shrine on La Costa Blvd. last weekend.  I like to stop on look at these.  The glass thing, with the jellyfish look, seems pretty expensive.  There is a pair of socks on the top right, plus the teddy bear.  I wonder who this is for?

Behind

I got behind this morning. Vincent flew in, so I went to the airport and picked him up. We took the dogs walking on the way back to La Jolla and Vincent is now putting his bike together. The up and back trip to LA to get parts for my new bike was good, but I hate driving in LA. I haven’t had a chance to put it together. I’m actually missing a Di2 internal battery. Supposedly Shimano is getting some more at their East coast warehouse on Thursday. I’m hoping to find one to borrow around here today or tomorrow.

Okay, I don’t want to waste time on the computer when Vincent came out here to ride, so that’s it for now.
