It’s been a good run. 2004 Kona Jake the Snake. Two B.R.A.G. (bike ride across Georgia) rides, several centuries, thousands of commutes. This is the bike that took me from “mountain bike sitting in the corner that gets ridden a couple of times per year” to hardcore everyday commuter and competitor-against-myself. I used to bike it to work in midtown Atlanta, slog up through the Atlanta hills to a meeting in Sandy Springs, ride back down through downtown in the dark and hit trivia night with some friends in Little Five Points before heading home. 7am to 11pm on and off the bike (ahh the single life!).
I was so new to biking when I did my first BRAG that I started off the first few days on cyclocross tires. I had only been doing commutes at that point. Rode with the CX tires for three days before the people I had formed a group with suggested that I try road tires. I did and that’s when I went from commuter to “roadie”.
My family did the loop around Burke lake on the gravel path yesterday (I was pulling the trailer) and when I hoisted it up onto the rack I saw the crack:
