not much new

It's been slow lately, I'm sick and haven't done a lot of work. Finished up some painting this weekend, including painting some panels around the S & S coupler retrofit I did last week:

I like the white with black pinstripes, it matches the lettering pretty good.

got a new bianchi Celeste paint mix from my paint guy and he did an incredible job matching the blue pearl in it. I'll post some pics soon of that one.

Also got word today that I'm officially in for Leadville this year! Guess that means I need to get that tandem frame built soon so we can start training. All the rain up here this week has pretty well decimated our snow, so I'm hoping for a warm March to start riding. Things could get ugly if it just get's cold and we have to deal with ice for another month...

I think I'll work on building up the tandem wheels while I'm sick, that's a good resting sort-of activity for me. I'm just not good at resting, even though I know it's best for me. There's just so many better things to do!

4 hours south of leadville lies a nice high altitude acclimatization camp with a spare guess bedroom. Just a thought.

ooooohh, that's really tempting, I will definitely keep it in mind! Thanks for the offer, I didn't realize how close to CO you were.

Yeah, I can get to Durango and Leadville pretty quick (3-4 hours). I just went up to Durango get my skate ski ass handed to me by the aged yet ageless ned overend last weekend.

Crested Butte in 5-6 hours and it takes 6 plus to get to denver boulder, which is not so quick. Anytime you want to visit in the winter and groom trails, you are more than welcome, I have about 10 people who would gladly host you if you wanted to groom for, say, 3 months...
