New bundle of joy

I've been neglecting this site because I have been preoccupied with a new addition to my family that has been in the works for nearly nine months!  She came into my world only two weeks ago and I have had time for little else, always needing constant attention and care.  You don't get much else done when you get a new Waltworks 29'r hardtail!  It was my first time assembling from the frame up and I nearly jacked it up two or three times.  But, after three trips to the professionals at Bikemasters, she was fine tuned and ready to hit the trail.  The first ride was heartbreaking when the first spec of dirt attached to the chain and the first piece of gravel bounced off the frame, but it would be a crime to lock a bike this pretty up.  You have to ride!!

Anyway, for those of you that want to know, I do plan on getting to Lewis and Clark Monument in CB this season yet before we get real snow here.  I have taken the gps on a ride there before, but there have been a couple of re-routes since then.  Plus, I made a few wrong turns and generally F'd up the whole track.  I am shooting for this weekend!
