Doug has been doing a complete overhaul on the zebra. It has needed a little love. We took apart the bottom bracket, but had some difficulty getting it off. It was so rusted and dirty that a sledge mallet wouldn't even get it off. We had to cut it with a hacksaw, and that didn't work either. Finally I got my 18" pipe wrench and we torqued it off. The picture shows after we actually washed off most of the sludge on the bracket. Pretty nasty to realize how much gunk builds up by just commuting and riding in the rain.
We did get some good rides in so far. It is hard to explain how beautiful it is to ride out here. You are out in the middle of nowhere, no cars, and trees. This is Doug coming up an extremely steep hill. It is a brutal hill. He is looking pretty strong out there.
The garage looks like a Specialized bike storage.
Planning on doing Wolf Creek on Saturday. Will update some pictures later.
