Because of this I called and talk to the Black Rock bike shop and they were able to get me in today to work on the bike and see if they can bleed the system and get it working a little better. While there I'm going to go ahead and change the rear rotor to a larger size for more braking power and less chance of heating up the disc so much on bigger descents.
I figure for only $40 it's well worth the upgrade. And then if they decide to upgrade the calipers and other things it's still well worth it. It's crazy, I am really getting stoked and very much into this new hobby/sport even more than I anticipated that I would.
3D Scanner
I almost forgot tot mention that I had a package waiting for me yesterday when we got home, actually maybe it was the day before that it was waiting. Anyway, I opened it up and as luck would have it, it was the new Sense 3D scanner from Cubify that I ordered as part of my package deal with the new printer that should be here by the end of next month.
Super stoked to be getting this stuff and cannot wait to have the printer as well and start making some prints with it. Until then I just have to wait and be patient. I think it may end up being harder for Cicely to do the wait and be patient part for a change. Usually its the other way around - I am the impatient one when it comes to new toys and related!
Days End
Otherwise not much else going on today. Tomorrow is Friday and I am invited to go golfing with some of the other leadership peeps but I am going to have to pass this time. I want to be able to go pick up my mountain bike when the shop has it done and if I am at the golf course there is a good chance that I might not get there in time. There will be plenty more opportunities for me to go and hang out so I will chalk this one up to bad timing.
Anyway, hopefully the week has treated you well so far and you are ready to roll into the weekend and enjoy a couple days off. Too bad that we are not rolling into another 3 day weekend, or more, now that would be sweet. This summer we plan to take a few extra days to hit the lake and stuff so that will be nice, I look forward to them.
Photo: Just one of the signs near the trail I rode last weekend. I agree that it's super important because no one wants to get fuzzy kid poo on their hiking boots, shoes or tires. C'mon people, don't be lazy assholes - pickup after your pets!
