Isaac's Bike - Brand New
On Friday, Isaac came to NH and became the owner of a Metallic Black 2009 Trek 7.3 FX! It’s very similar to my bike, but has frame forming improvements, upgraded components, and a slicker finish. Convenietly, it came equipped with road tires similar to those I’ve swapped on my bike. We added a matching rack, and lighting. It was a clear, warm day and we started wearing it in immediately with a smooth 15mi bike trail ride .
My camping gear consists primarily of items inherited from a previous generation. My usual sleeping bag is a time-honored Coleman design featuring a drab green exterior and a comfy flannel lining with a red and tan print of birds and wildlife that I think is intended to evoke memories of an autumn hunt.

Well im still in finance class and it is 10:10pm and the professor is talking about co variance he just said he has one more thing…..so lets just say i am glad dad bought me starcraft 8 years ago. I got a bunny too. It went to the office and people got a kick out of it. I will be done in 72 hours. I cant wait. Thank you grandma and grandpa for the card.
My cold weather glove protected my hand from this scrape :)
I’m happy that we’re thawing out, but I would really like to reschedule the rain for weekdays. There’s more rain coming this weekend. Last weekend I went for a spill off of my bike just as it hit the lifetime 500 mile mark. My hands were well protected by my gloves, but I don’t think they’re “windproof” anymore :) Taking it easy this week to recover I logged only about 30 miles. But, I do have some new equipment in hand to talk about soon and it’s less than a week until Isaac’s bike shopping day!!
I’ve equipped last year’s commuter for tour duty.
-Road specific tires
-Rack and panniers
-Leather saddle
Rode 100 miles with this setup last week. I’m feeling every crack in the road, but these tires sail on smooth road. The panniers getting the weight off my back makes spending more than an hour in the saddle possible!
OK.. from today i have offically 9 days left at edgelab. If you count the weekend (which you have to) I have 14 days left. At that point I plan to meet up with Devon and purchase my bicycle. We will also try out our hammock. I only wanted to get one and share it but devon insisted on getting two.
