Gettin’ ready for SSWC08…

Welp, looks like I’m going to head over the hill to partake in the festivities that are the Single Speed World Championships tomorrow. No, not racing, viewing. I don’t think I could actually ride a single-speed off-road with all the pulling on the bars that is needed with my rotator cuff in the condition it’s in right now (it probably has about 25% of the range of motion of my good arm). But I can lift 12 ouncers and pints and even 22 ouncers! My friend from down south, Gordon, stopped by the shop yesterday and convinced me to close shop for a day and head over to Napa. It was good to hang out at the shop with him and his friend, drink a few beers…Finally got to actually enjoy the couches I have at the shop.

It will also give me a chance to see this Soulcraft in action that I built up a few days ago – cutting it a little close for a race. George brought this by after deciding he wasn’t sure if smacking the King headset into the frame with a 2×4 and hammer was a good idea. Trust me, George, you did the right thing bringing it to me because I also got to cut out a good foot from the hydraulic hoses and dial it in for you.
