spring and a new bike.

miles: fueled by soup and espresso

spring is here, through the worst of it, life was losing meaning, it's about damn time, et cetera. there's no need to go on about the relief that the weather has taken a turn for the better, certainly after this winter, but, oh boy it is a relief. work has been taking its toll. so too has life junk. spring is always good to apply its positive vibes on even the most downtrodden. also, more bikes!

winter is the best time to plan and build a new bike and i did just that this past season. sifting through all the available options, ordering, scrutinizing photos of other people's bikes for ideas and staring at a box of incomplete components for months is a blast... and a bummer when the weather is garbage. today was a mint day to take it out and about and work out the kinks.

i should call out sick tomorrow.
