I'm so excited and I just can't hide it....

It has been some time since my last post. I did some stutter biking and I am finally doing it on the regular again. Obviously spring break helps but I also got some new gear and a full fitting.

I'll start from the beginning. The last post I did was near the beginning of February and I had just gotten done with the creek ride. I went on a few more fat bike rides including riding the fat bike as transportation but then one day it was really nice and I decided to dust off the Cross Check. I had a lot of fun riding it so I went ahead and purchased some studded tires for it because I know that in March and sometimes April there is a lot of refreeze. I didn't get anything with too many studs in them but they have a nice aggressive tread and a fair amount of studs. 

Then last week I picked up a couple shifts at Freewheel and a couple more this week and then I also work Sunday. So far I have ridden in every single day and I hope to keep doing it. The only wrench in my plan is that my commute is now a round trip 50 miles as I am back in Maple Grove, where as my commute from Minneapolis was only about 28. Well one thing is for certain, I will get back in shape pretty quick.

I picked up a Gore Bike Wear coat and it is amazing. We got a deal on them over the winter through Gore and I could not believe how amazing it has turned out to be! It is getting too warm to be wearing it but it will serve me well next winter that is for sure.
