I brought Nessy over to Tri-County Bicycles last week to get her gears looked at. The guy at the shop was able to realign everything (nothing broken, yay!) and get me sorted for pretty cheap. So I went ahead and got the hybrid tires he had shown me, and luckily was able to use the same tubes as from my regular mountain bike tires. I also went ahead and put the pink streamers I received as a gift (thank you!) on:
Yes, I realize I am an embarrassment to myself and everyone who knows me.
Oh, and I was informed last week that I needed a headshot for the conference profile. Eek. After much heartache and digital camera finagling, I got a nice shot. But I think MJ has successfully convinced me to get one professionally done for the next conference.
