Building

This last week was a busy one in the garage and with bicycles. Last weekend, we worked and organized the garage. We got all the bikes hung up on the wall, gave away not needed or unused items, threw away clutter and trash, put up some peg board, and organized the tools. It really made the garage look better and freed up space to walk through and work in. Here are a few photos of the results. Yeah, we have plenty of bikes.During the week, my dad came down and spent some time with us. I was glad he was here as Craig and I were building Craig's bike. I had almost all the components for a bike so I got a frame, forks, and the other smaller parts needed to complete the bike. A few nights later with some wrench turning, reading, and talking through things, we had a bike. The best part was working with Craig and my dad. I tried real hard not to turn the wrench and let Craig do it. Sometimes it worked and others it didn't but it was a great experience working together to get it done. The maiden voyage was a 10 mile ride through the neighborhood mixed with a little rain. We talked a bit throughout the ride. It was good to be out with my son, doing what I love, sharing some time. Here is the proud rider and his bike.

Here is to looking forward to many long rides and lots of fun on the bike. Next up for Craig is to tackle the cycling merit badge and the 160 miles worth of riding to get it done.
