We’re nearly there

In a week, I’ll be on a plane, heading to Zurich, before getting a train and a ferry, then a taxi to Eurobike. Well that’s the plan. It’s been a long year and it really doesn’t seem 12 months since we were there last. Wandering the isles and discussing things with companies that STILL haven’t arrived. We’ve got a lot of new stuff sorted out, and the last minuteness of the stuff that’s still going on is quite exciting.

We’ve got a package leaving Taiwan this morning, with the new X-Lite forks in it, a final Ragley frame, some head badges and lots of other stuff. I’m tracking two pairs of Rock Shox Sektors as they criss-cross the Irish Sea, trying to get to Chain Reaction Cycles for build up on a couple of complete bikes, that have to be in a field in Germany a week tomorrow.

My Nokia N900 turns up today as well, so I’ll undoubtably lose a day in trying to get that to work. We’ll see.

PS: A few more blog update, rather than just Twitter from now on, after reading this – http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/22/thnks-fr-th-mmrs/ – Paul Carr knows the score.

Back on it

After that last ride, the Thursday night one with the gang, I’ve been busy. But probably avoiding riding as I was a bit fed up to be honest. Ed insisted that I was only slow going up – “you were at the front going downhill”.

And so, after much persuasion by my lovely wife I got out – just the usual up the hill and back. And it rocked.

Had a super-ace ride, climbed well, descended great. Got lots of stuff worked out in my head, and validated lots of ideas that I’ve got going into products right now.

I don’t know what sort of person I’d be if I didn’t ride at all, as it gets so much straight in my head when I do. Shouldn’t leave it so long next time.
