spring time in the PNW

Yes friends that that wonderful time of year is here again: Spring. Birds chirping, cherry blossoms popping and mud everywhere. Yesterday, Jen went out out and raced Horning's Hustle mountain bike race, and afterwards she mentioned she had some trouble shifting. I laid the bike on the ground right before I hosed it off and I think I may have found one of the reasons her shifting may not have been super crisp. Yep, the entire crank and rear cog were completely packed with mud. Just one of the perks of spring in the Pacific North West!
