Blog maintanence

matt's bar
After a ride yesterday and dinner at Matt's bar, I needed a day to unwind. I got some minor maintanence done on the bikes. It was colder than I expected, so no washing. But the biggest accomplishment of the day was some long overdue blog maintanence. Nearest and dearest to my heart is the fact that I now have all of my bikes featured under the "My Bikes" section in the sidebar. I had a couple bikes I hadn't photographed, mainly because they were not fully assembled and I didn't want to show them to the world in various states of disrepair and or assembly. But I'm now up to date. Here's the list as it stands today:

Jamis Satellite
Miyata Shredder
Montgomery Wards Hawthorne
Raleigh Eclipse
Raleigh Robin Hood
Schwinn Premis
Sun EZ Tadpole trike

I also did some long overdue work on the blogroll. I started by removing several defunct blogs. There's several I left on there that haven't been updated in ages. But I'm an optimist. I also added a ton of new folks that I've been reading. Take a look, there's some interesting folks in our neighborhood:

I also started a new section of bike-related podcasts that I've been listening to since I got my iPod last August:

I feel like I've accomplished something this weekend, when in reality I haven't done a thing. It's Miller Time.
