Where did all this gorgeous weather come from? Here we’ve been freezing all month with below normal temps and all of a sudden we’re in the 70s! No, I’m definitely NOT complaining about it, but I was totally jealous all weekend when I saw someone out enjoying their bike every time I turned around.

I didn’t get to do any riding though. We spent all day Saturday helping our friends move into their new house, and yesterday we spent the day working on the bike. We had to spend some time rerouting wires and things to make everything work with the new custom tail section. I came up with a way to use the old seat lock, and it works great. We just rerouted it and made our own metal tabs.

We’re just waiting on the rear pegs to come in (which I ordered yesterday), and then the bike is going off to paint. I talked to our friend who’s painting it yesterday, and we should be sending it to him within the next couple of weeks, but it should be ready to ride as soon as this weekend if all goes well! It’ll just look like a total rat bike for now, and that I don’t mind at all :-p.

Hubby is only working half a day Friday because he has a meeting with a guy who’s wanting to hire him for some work on commercial real estate. If he gets home early enough and the weather is still nice I might convince him to take the bike out for it’s “welcome back” voyage. I so totally can’t wait!
