The picture of my bike is coming and it’s so Ninja it’s name is Ninja, this is now a bit dated, yet a part still remains true, the bikes name is now – Flying Mapache (Raccoon).  What hasnt changed, and this is true of all bikes, that they are ninja, they are so expertly made, that they will even survive the EMP blast following a Nuclear detonation where most forms of transport will be rendered useless…. Aloha.

Without further ado, El Bicicleta…  Week One….

Specialized Tri-Cross, I have had it dated from 06-2010, so, your guess is as good as mine.  Carbon front fork and seat post, standard Mavick rims, Bontrager Bags (I only use the front ones now as the rear ones proved a little too shaky for flying off curbs infront of 18 wheelers getting on highways, luckily, God saw fit to only have the bags get crushed and left me and the bike, not sure how, don’t care, thank you god, untouched=)

A huge Thanks goes to Shirks Bike Shop in East Earl Pennsylvania.  Luke Shirk was kind enough to offer whatever he had to me at no cost simply because he felt so inclined.  If you are within a 300 mile radius of Shirks, it is your best chance to meet truly amazing people who will make your bike happy.  Very Very Happy.

Sleeping arangements provided by a childhood freind Bill Lane, he gave me his Marine issue Bivvy sac and Sleeping Bag.

Aero Bars provided by Craiglslist along with Leatherman Wave (this will prove super useful up to and including a basic foot surgery in the months that follow this shot.)
