SoMeThInG BoRRoWeD

So,
Went home yesterday. Slipped on my mechanix gloves and got to work. I pulled out my tommicog, pulled off my XTR/Stan's Wheelset and Fixed them for the War Machine.

Pulled off my Front Elixir Brake, and installed it on the War Machine.

Im thinking a different seat? Install the Aero Bars?? Wrap the Bars?

Friday, tomorrow, shakedown ride. I want to go on a road trip, but if its not in the budget, then Saturday, another shakedown ride, we will see.

I have been messaging and communicating with Ultra Endurance Champions who have experience in multi day bikepacking self supported events. Communicated with Tour Divide Single Speed Record Holder Chris Plesko. Messaged With Deanna Adams, who Rode nearly 2800 miles on a Fixed Gear bike. All asking for advice and strategies as I come every day, minute by minute, closer to the adventure of a lifetime.

I feel serene and calm about the effort. If some of the most recent advice that I have received works, I have no concerns about my only concern while I am on the bike. So, we will see what happens, Im pumped up.

Let's Get Ready to Get Ready to RUMBLE....

I got my packing list made up, got to test the load, then trim it if needed, going as light as I can folks. Are you thinking about this? Go look at the tracking site, its got an active countdow in effect.

What I wanna know, is who am I going to beat on my Fixie, LOL, meaning which coasties will finish behind me...

O as well, there will be a big surprise announcement at the 5am Riders meeting, I know everyone will LOVE me after that happens.

Ok, enough for today,

Laters,

The NaKeD InDiaN
