Another weekend down.

Got a lot of time in the saddle this weekend. Did a loop out to Afton (passing through Hastings and Rosemount on the way back) on Saturday. With the ride to and from the meetup, I figured it'd be about 90 miles. Threw an extra loop into St. Paul, putting me at 103 for the ride. I capped off the night with another 13 miles riding around with Richi and a couple of his friends.

Grabbed onto the LGR ride on Sunday for a nice loop out to Excelsior. Spent much of the rest of the day wrenching and cleaning up bikes. Finally got around to putting an EC90 fork on the road bike, and have the Surly and Raleigh fixed gear ready for new headsets.

I am going to Spain in May for work. I think I am going to use the free airfare to Europe to my advantage and take a few days of vacation there. Tentatively I'll leave on Friday May 1st, settle into San Sebastian on Saturday night, have all day Sunday through Wednesday off, attend and present at a conference Thursday and Friday, and depart Sunday morning.

If this all pans out, I could potentially have 5 full days of riding in the Pyrenees and along the coast of Spain. Who knows how this will pan out, but I am really hoping I can adjust my work schedule accordingly.
