And the bike is done! Except that it came with a HUGE hole in the front intertube, so I need to go buy three, instead of just the two back ups I was originally planning on. Welcome to the exciting world of bikes!
My hunny helped me get the brakes right and we finally got the interaction right. He is not the best teacher for me on a lot of things. We make a good team otherwise. I am THRILLED to have it all good to go except for the tire!
Slowly but surely, one step at a time, I am readying myself for my journey. I am excited to finally get on the road and a little frightened of the traffic some of the places I want to go eventually. So in the spirit of the journey, I am going to check things off my getting ready list.
Got my tattoo finished (this was last year but one of the things I felt needed to be done before the burn)
Got a tent (for free, even!)
Purchased bike and basic safety gear
Built said bike and will be learning first hand how to change a tube before my first ride
Still need to purchase panniers for the bike, need to make a personal list of needs for the burn and outline my strength training regiment. I am right on schedule at this point. Woot!
