Riding Stairs

I've been reading about Niner Bikes a lot lately. The company seems good, the bikes are so sick looking, I really wanna ride one soon. The guy who runs my LBS has a Niner bike and says that the bike is too much bike for him. That's always a great feeling. Not much else is really going on. I finished my first test of the semester this week. Felt like it was really easy. It was a short one too, twenty five questions, so that was nice. I also finished the sequal to Cannery Row, Sweet Thursday, which was a good/typical Steinbeck book. I'm getting pretty damn close to finishing the total works on Steinbeck, and kinda want to make it happen, I love Steinbeck a lot.

As far as the bike goes, my time on the saddle has been great lately. It's all about shifting weight when riding on an kind of rough paths or OR stuff. I've also been trying to learn how to ride down stairs and have been doing some stairs close to the library on north campus just to train. I think I could probably ride down a full flight right now but there are a couple set of stairs in the area I've been working at that are fiveish steps long. I havent fallen once but the full flight is intimidating. Intimidation is one's biggest enemy on the bike, so I wanna make myself a bit more comfortable before I try the full flight. Last night though I was pretty hammered and all I wanted to do was go ride down a flight of stairs. Glad I didn't try to do it, if things had been fine it woulda been fine, but if things went wrong, well, it was three AM.
