To Fill Up Some Space

I think spring might come and winter end. No, I really do. I mean, we had a tiny bit of snow yesterday, and it was 19 degrees (F) this morning on my way to work, but I really think I'll soon get outside--and not to ride the Pugsley.

Which is, actually, kind of sad.

I'm wrapping up the Pugsley review right now, and I must say it has been some of the most fun I've had on a bike. My winter has actually flown by because of all the fun I've been having--a rarity for me in the cold, snowy months.

I think that before I strip it down and pack it up and ship it back, though, I'll try and get in a good mud ride or two. The mud around here can be just terrible, so I want to see if it's better on the Pugsley.

But, that's not all I'm going to do. I might actually go for a road ride. I think I've seen the road sweepers out and about, so it's now time I made use of my road bike again--only outside instead of in.

Which means I need tires. Desperately do I need tires. Why is it, by the way, that of all the tire brands out there you can find on sale, it seems to be 80% of the time Hutchinson road tires? I mean, I really like them, so I don't mind, but still, why? Don't they sell very well? Does anyone out there hate Hutchinson road tires (and here I'm talking about the nice road tires, not the $15 ones)?

Okay, enough rambling. Read my review (when I post it), then go buy a Pugsley and have a blast on it. It will make all your local standby trails fun again.
