Picked up a new tool this weekend. Pretty amazing little device. After zeroing to a known level surface, I can attach it to a vertically clamped tube via the magnetized side that has a nice indent for squaring against tubes. Spin it around the tube, and center to 90deg on a few sides, secure the vice clamp. Then I’m set to measure mitred joints Beats just eyeballing it and using T squares, which I’ll still be doing. Also digging the color 🥕

The bikepacking rig upgrades continue: added some additional bottle mounts to my minimal front rack. Swapped a set of cages from another bike that nicely aligns a cutout for bolt access on the rack. Feels like good practice to keep things accessible for tightening. Im looking forward to a longer gravel shakeout ride tomorrow.

First real ride back on the big rig went well yesterday. I’ve got a good list of maintenance items ahead of me to get the bike ready for East Texas Showdown. 1. Bigger front chainring, and a longer chain to match, for relatively less climbing than my last trip. 2. Brake cleaning and possibly new pads. Cooked ‘em good on the fully loaded downhills the last time out. Feeling loooose! 3. Rack adjustments and fastener check. Make sure they’re on there real good.

Commit 12/13 Shakeout for the shakeout on the bikepacking rig. Good reason to explore some lesser traveled local trails while I thought about my maintenance todo list to get ready for a trip next week. Higher

Commit 8/13 Wild Wednesday Opted for a solo ride but caught the Blue Line group headed back out 😬 was way short on water but it felt like destiny. The stars aligned for 34 on a weeknight. Pretty sick. Feeling ✨ Blessed ✨

Commit 7/13 Fast (for me) 5 miler in perfect crisp morning weather. Felt good to push the pace on 2 days rest.

Finding some new utility in my pen plotter. Tonight I’m refining some full scale drawings of this steel bike frame I’m building, starting with the main triangle.

Commit 6/13 Big Saturday on the bike fueled by gas station junk food. 50mi to about 100k is a bit of a barrier for me. Things seem to unravel around there but learning to eat more and stay relaxed. Working up to a big gravel bikepacking trip at the end of March. Nice to have a target to train towards.
