[RBW] Re: Some things change, some stay the same

[Deacon Patrick]

Congratulations, Mama and Papa Tony and Rebecca! She's beautiful, so 
thankfully took after her mother, aye? Grin.

I saw this on your blog (sans Rebecca) and wondered if you'd ridden that 
trail with the 48mm Compass, and if so, how it did?

With abandon,
Patrick

Congratulations! 

You'll find that though the kid initially cuts your riding down by about 
112%, at 8 months or so pulling a trailer with the noob will be some of the 
most biking fun you've ever had.  

And then, when she graduates to the up front Yepp Mini on your Bomba, oh 
boy the fun begins!

Thanks Patrick!  I opted for 2.25 Nobby Nic's for the trail ride so I'll 
have to go back and do a direct comparison. I expect I'd see a difference 
in 2 big area's;  slow (very) speed climbing on loose dirt and taking large 
roots/rocks/obstacles without a good approach.  In my granny I was climbing 
slowly on dirt and really felt the knob's biting in and helping me climb 
and I think I'd miss that w/ the SBH's and probably get off and walk abut 
15' sooner... not a big deal.  And as far as rolling over stuff just having 
the extra volume and stiffer sidewalls makes me think the Nobby Nic's ride 
better.  I'll bet on anything else I'd prefer the SBH's for the speed and 
amazing cush though.

Thanks Daniel!  I think the huge impact will be once my wife - Erika, goes 
back to work in Oct which means I'll be involved in some kind of day care 
drop off which means my regular bike commute will at least be different if 
not eliminated for a while.  But recreational rides are definitely going to 
be few and far between.  I really can't wait for the Yepp Mini rides with 
her!

Wow, Tony, she's lovely!  You've got a whole new life dimension in your 
hands.

You've also got a new perspective on riding...more short rides...and soon 
more company.

Congrats.  Totally.

What a beautiful baby!  What do you actually call her?  Becky?  Lynne? 
 Rebecca Lynne?  We called our grandson "His Tinyness" and our 
granddaughter  "XYZ" (which are her initials).  Our daughter swears we 
called her "Aaaron-Sage-Suzanne"  which showed her lineage behind her 
brother and the family dog.

You wont always be able to appreciate it when she is having a meltdown but 
this is the best thing that has ever happened.  Bless you and her and her 
mother on this sacred journey.

Life is good.

Michael
