Ok well its Toms road bike actually. Its steel Marin and it rides nice. I've been loggin some nice miles on it lately and really enjoying it. Knees feel good, back feels good, lungs feel good. Cant complain. On Monday I did a nice little ride out to Fox Gap and back. I was trying to get in a nice steady zone 2 ride for some base miles, but I shoulda known. Its not flat around here and trying to get a simple steady ride around here is next to impossible. It ended up being a small hill workout. Well, the Fox Gap road climb isnt small lol. Anyways I jsut hope my Epic isnt getting jealous. I dont think it is though. I mean she's still my first choice no matter where I ride, street or dirt. Or lately snow. I outfitted her with a cool ass set of tires. Homemade ice spikes. Not very good in the soft snow, but I can wait to take them out when the mush freezes over.

I'm not going to post this pic on the front page here becasue its width would mess up the website, but you gotta check this panarama I made of Wind Gap

Easton from the south:


Horse Tire Swing:


The spikes. Over 230 in both tires. 1/2" #8 self tapping screws. Although they are self tappers, I drilled 1/16" pilot holes to be sure they went where I wanted them to. They are lined with a cut out tube in between the tire and the real tube:


This past weekend we also drove out to Hershey Park to get our chocolate fix at Chocolate World. There was this house on display that ws made completely out of candy. Check out the size of them kisses! After the chocolate, we hit Sweet Lights on the way out. I dont think it was worth $18, but it was still nice. I think its Lehigh Parkway Lightshow for us next year. But we still gotta go back to Hershey for the 3d movie. It was a too crowded for us to hit that this time.
