Happy Anniversary!


Wow I've been married and year and it's flown by. The wife and I celebrated our weekend at my old stomping grounds back in East TN mtns, accented by road rides with the parental units and mtn rides on some sick trails. My dad in his creative age has decided the vacant lot next to our house had enough room, and has accommodated it with some "house mtn bike trails" which we gladly helped pack down. It's pretty awesome to walk out the back door and ride 100 feet to single track. It wasn't a lot of distance but it definitely has some technically challenging terrain. If nothing else it's a great proving ground to go test out the limits of your equipment and riding style.

Recap on the past weeks happenings...

I ordered some stainless steel fenders with the hope that they would last longer than the two pairs of plastic guys that failed the fatigue of commuting test. The bling value is high but I've also learned that looking into them in the morning sun can be blinding.


Oddly enough the day before they arrived I found an almost complete set of drill bits on the side of the road and claimed my first real commuter prime' in quite some time.

Oh...and our chickens started laying eggs the day after we returned from our honeymoon! We're looking forward to some consistent egg laying (size and periodicity of laying) in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for news on the Chandler farm egg bidness.
