and i couldnt turn..

not sure if the squared off rear tyre has something to do with it. But nevertheless the fact remains that I am back to basics.

Problem is i have been riding my bicycle so much, and i have gotten used to throwing that around that i have forgotten how it feels to throw the bike.. and the bike feels so top heavy because of that.

God taking turns feels like murder.

Oh well I will get some new tyres next season and then figure out things.. but i still got 150 or so miles to go to hit 10K..

Time to winterize it for a month (i am going back to LA on sunday the bike stays here). Hopefully january will bring some nice weather (sunny days) that i can put on 200 or so miles and get the new tyres.

Anyawy hope it doesnt rain tommorow .. my finals get over tommorow and then I can take her out for a nice long spin.

Once month?  Why not ride the bike down to LA and take advantage of the warm weather to do some canyon exploring.  I've heard that you can do a full day loop like this:

Angles Crest Highway to Highway 38 to Big Bear and then south to Highway 243 and then west on Highway 74 until it becomes Ortega and you're in Orange county.  

Man, I think in January when I get back from the east coast I might have to do it.

I would bring it back home but without a trailer and a hitch on my car i am stuck keeping it up here. Plus i dont have the support staff i had when i came up here originally (support staff = family).

Anyway I will get a trailer and stuff later on so over the summer i will definately ride her down... that after i explore nor.cal during my spirng break vacation.
