Fat and Single

My Pugsley has seen some neglect this year.  It has been sitting idle since the Almanzo.  I borrowed some parts from it creating A-No's build.  Last week I took some time and put it back together.  Saturday I rode the horse trail for 3 hours with it and had a blast.

Keeping it simple on the back end.

Bars are on loan from Tri.  I have never tried anything with a sweep before, but I am liking it so far.

Not much else is new.  Trying to finish up some projects in the yard before the weather gets cold.

Have a good week.

Guest Poster: Introducing A-No

I'd like to take a minute to introduce my ten year old offspring, A-No.  He will be giving a ride report of his latest ride down in Mason city Iowa.

This is A-No. I did a 22 mile bike ride with Bompa (Duane) last weekend. We left Friday night. It was funny when we stopped at Kwik Trip and I went to the bathroom and a lady walked into the boy’s bathroom!  We got there at 9:30 and went to bed right away.

The start:

 The next morning we left for the ride and temperature was around 30 degrees. All I had on was shorts, leg warmers, a long sleeve shirt, a jersey, ear warmers under a hat, and two pairs of gloves. The ride was cold and windy the entire time and my feet and hands were freezing.  We ended up not turning around when we were supposed to and did 34 miles. That is the most I have done by myself so felt good about that.  I did hit a rock on the last two mile stretch and did face plant to the ground. Luckily I only got a busted lip rather than a broken tooth.

I spent the rest of the day hauling wood at the lake house. We went to Denny’s for dinner that night and we thought it was really funny that a lady there was picking her nose! The next day we hung out and watched football. Then later we left for home.

            It was a fun ride though and I for sure will be doing the 50 next year. Bompa and I  had a great time.

 Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the words A-No and strong work on the ride.
