Sram Technical University

I spent four days being fed the SRAM koolaid the end result I would buy their product. The first day was learning about their shifting system and how easy it is to take apart and rebuild. Days three four and five were spent learning suspension theory and how to take apart and reassemble their forks and rear shocks. It is easier than I thought. As for the whole experiance imagine sixteen bicycle mechanics and two instructors then picture them all in the same room, on top of that they took us out to trivia night at a local pub. We are an interesting breed of people.
every morning I went to class I looked at this view
this is the hill that I took the moon shots on it was across the street from the hotel
this is the hotel we stayed at across the street is where I took the moon shots

fun with moon shots

The Escapist by Nightwish

Who's there knocking at my window
The owl and the dead boy
The night whispers my name
All the dying children

Virgin snow beneath my feet
Painting the world in white
I tread the way and lose myself into a tale

Come hell or high water
My search will go on
Clayborne voyage without an end

Anightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked in reality's cage
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone, bring me back to life
It all starts with a lullaby

Journy homeward bound
A sound of a dolphin calling
Tearing off the mask of man
The tower, my sole guide

This is who I am
Escapist, paradise seeker
Farwell, now time to fly
Out of sight, out of time, away from all lies

Anightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked in reality's cage
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone, bring me back to life
It all starts with a lullaby
