Down to double digits!

As of today we have 99 days left. Double digits. Getting excited? We are, to say the least!

We loaded the bikes up on the trailer last night (in freezing cold, bone chilling temps) so we could haul them to Prosser, WA to have a few recall items taken care of. Would have really liked to have rode, but, burrrrrr!!! The pass is clear, but the temp. is 24. To cold for me.

When we get back, we'll leave the bikes at home rather than in storage so we can start getting them ready. A few things need to get done to make them more travel ready. Jim's going to change the sprocket size on my bike so I don't always feel like I need to shift up one more gear while we're traveling at freeway speeds. He's also thinking about rigging up some better luggage holders for my soft bags. He's getting his seat worked over so it's a little better for shorter legs and has softer padding. Then there's the regular maintenance issues that need taking care of - fluid changing, new tires, etc.

On an unrelated note, guess what we're doing for fun? Taking fencing classes. We've only taken two classes (it's a six week session) but so far it's been pretty fun, not to mention great exercise.
