18 November 2009 - 1:19Riding with the Birthday Boy

What another glorious day to skip out of work and play bikes.  My winter shop hours are sort of skewed in my favor that way, and with temps hovering in the mid 40s, it became necessary to ride. It also is our good friend Cris’ birthday, so we had to go. Cris owns Factotum Designs, and does all of our shirts for us. He is super good and always gets us our stuff on time, even when I am being a pain in the ass and need 12 shirts done with complicated artwork in a hurry. If you need stuff printed, he’s your guy.

Town Loops is the only place nearby where it is semi safe to ride during hunting season, and it is always a good time. Cris, Mandy, Seamus and myself went for about an hour or so. With the shadows getting longer, and gunshots ringing out from various distances we kept the chatting to a minimum and got the ride done.

Seamus loves his orange coat, it’s crucial this time of year, because he is kind of deer colored.

Another crucial piece of equipment I had yet to test out, was this bottle opener I have mounted on my bike. A birthday toast seemed like the right occasion. Cheers!
