The Change is Complete

For those of you that know me, you are well aware that I try to ride my bike to work as often as I can. For a couple of years now I have been riding a bike I had built specifically for commuting. A three speed internal rear hub, airless tires, and street cuffs. My original intent was for it to be a John Deere bike (green and yellow). After spending way too much money on a pink saddle for my wife, it just never worked out for her, and for those of you that ride there is nothing worse than an uncomfortable saddle. Because you can't return a saddle (that totally sucks by the way), I was stuck with a pink saddle. So John Deere became Jayne Deere (pink and green). Well the transformation is complete and no longer do I have a Jayne Deere bike I have a John Deere bike so enjoy the before and after pics.

2 months out and almost there.

The last two months have been a whirl wind of great things. I was hoping to have my "90 for Dad" team assembled by November and I am only 3 riders away from having a complete team. I have had a ton of people volunteer to help with the ride. Look for updates and a complete line up when I get the last 3.

I rode in the Vernon Burnin a few weeks back. My dad grew up in Vernon. I felt him with me all day. As you know Texas is Hot especially in August. The Temperature never got above 73 degrees and I never got tired, I was never thirsty, and never hungry. I have never won a bike race in my life not even a close second. I won my age group 18-39 and got second overall in the 60K. Thanks DAD!
