We finally got Ty’s new Fetish Penna built up last Sunday. Everything was coming together great until Dad cut the front brake cable too short. Of course, we had every other cable in our garage except a road brake cable. So, Sunday morning we ran down to our LBS to pick up the cable and finish the bike. The weather here in Phoenix has been cooling off to double digits finally. We hit the road around 4PM for the inaugural ride of Ty’s Penna. The bike was like butter! We started off real easy for a while to let Ty get comfortable on his new mount. Then, we cranked it up a bit and cruised along at 20 MPH for a while. Ty handled the bike like he had been riding it for years. It was great for Dad to be back on the road bike again. The Cannondale had been sitting on my trainer way too long and was itching to hit the pavement again.
We are off to the MTB National Championships this Wed night! It is a 9 hour drive to Mammoth Lakes from the Valley. We plan on leaving around 8PM and driving through the night. Dad may have to pull off the road and catch a cat nap around 3AM. Ty is looking forward to the event and seeing how he can do on the National level. We will post pictures and updates this weekend.
