November ride's and Shop Updates

 

Went for a last coffee run with Cole and Brian on Saturday. Glad we did because chunks of ice literally fell from the sky on Sunday covering our streets with snow and ice.

 

Temp wasn't too bad, but cold enough that Brian's kickstand snapped. Ended up leaning the bike on a tree like a real gangster. haha

Also scored this little XS400 parts bike to help with Carole's XS360 project this winter. She's a runner and near complete for $150. Couldn't resist.

 

And just in the nick of time  I got Carole moved into her new warm and cozy basement studio leaving another quarter of the garage open for me to scoop in and fill up. Gonna be nice to have the extra space this winter and I actually got all the bikes in too. Stoked.

Winter Nights

When you live North of the 49th parallel (the 52nd to be exact) this day is a unique one being the longest night we see all year. On this Winter Solstice we will actually see more than 16hrs of darkness and with sunrise at 9:14 AM and sunset at 4:57 PM we will have only 7h 42m 49s of daylight with which to soak up the vitamin D needed. The good news is that from tomorrow on the days start getting longer again. Some say the lack of sunlight makes us a little weird during the winter months, but I say it's just fuel for creativity. Winter builds have always been a place to focus that pent up coookyness. Get out and enjoy the sunlight any way you can. Here's to longer days ahead.
