When I say "local" it was local to Driggs, where I was visiting my son who is working at the golf course there. Right next to the Grand Teton and Yellowstne national parks...fantastic area, hiking and biking in the summer and skiing in the winter!

Spent the afternoon up to my elbows in various noxious solvents, cleaning the semi-digested elastomeric goo out of a Manitou fork.
NOT the high point of my weekend
This was the "good" side .........


But, I got it done, and all ready for its new rubber duckies

Evening all Macretros

I am hoping everyone is all safe and well and hunkered down for the storm.

I thought I would just drop a message here to let you all know that it was Brian's 80th Birthday last Saturday.

While we didn't get a ride in we did manage to have a surprise lunch for him that Heather, Caleb and I went and joined the family for a very nice lunch and back to Brians for a few drinks. It was a great day and he was genuinely surprised as well as thoroughly enjoying himself.

He has been out and about riding but more so on his new Royal Enfield lately.

I thought of buying him a derailleur, as he keeps telling me when he gets old he'll get gears. Though we are both building new Fat bike wheels for the winter and he is thinking of lacing an 11 speed Alfine to the carbon rims he has, so maybe he is softening.

Here's a few photos of Brian from a few of our past rides.

Happy Birthday Brian

Instead of a Changing Rooms, Jamie, you could do a Changing Gears on Brian's bike. Not saying you have to be Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen but I think you can do the job though.

First night ride in a few years. Only the bats for company.
