Jelly Belly Ride

SRAM sponsored pro cycling team "Jelly Belly" were in town and stopped by the office.  A bunch of us suited up and went for a midday spin with the team.  What fun!  They are complete professionals, but fun-loving, and very interested in what we do.  We rode on the Lake Shore Path about 25 miles - an easy ride - and I am just happy that I didn't cause anyone to crash.

Ross' Bicycle

Well, I can see that no progress has been made of late in this blog-thing.  My apologies to any that actually read the darned thing.  The humidity has been brutal here in Illinois, so no work on the guitar.  So, let me just put up a few fun bits until the weather settles down enough for the braces to go on &c, &c.

This is Ross' bicycle.  A 68 cm Gunnar, hand made in Waterford, Wisconsin.  All SRAM components, of course, including a "Red" crank and Easton wheels.  Real beauty.  Ross loves to bike and took it back to Drake University for spins about and out of town.

It's big, like Ross (6' 8"), but looks good underneath him under power.
