They say February is the Hardest Month

Fuck that.

At Vallie Components we're way harder than February.

Between Winter training, Mighty Riders, boring out the new rear shells, rewriting my patent, and just generally hammering (even at night!), I'm not going slow enough to even notice that this month is supposed to be depressing.

Unfortunately, this also means that I haven't been able to finish up the Flite5 Rack. It will come though. I should take a deep breath and hit the TIG torch. I've got a bunch of local interest coming in now, and its amazing. I just need to work on scheduling. Everyone I know is both working and riding pretty hard. Even my racks.

Here's a shot of Morgan's bike at the local liquor store.

damn son

He's using Flite2 to do the weekly liquor run for our favorite sustainably run restaurant, Bandidas Taqueria. I believe this week's is 72 Beer. A load deemed 'Not Trailer worthy' thanks to my engineering. SUPER BADASS!

I've been using Flite4 for all sorts of inventory related crap lately too. Oh.. and today for a wet fixed training ride, I strapped my Camelback onto the rack as a makeshift triathlon sippy straw inspired, rando bar bag hydration system. It worked great, and everyone was totally jealous of how hydrated I was. .. or something.

Okay.. back to work!
