WALTER

Walter is a very funny little kitten.  She is not afraid of much and likes to sleep ... anywhere.

THE NEW BIKE

Meet the new Honey Badger by Spot .  It is a really fun bike to ride!  The steel frame is super lively and responsive on the climbs yet ridiculously smooth and compliant on the descents.  The crenellated down-tube mated to the machined tapered head-tube makes the front end nice and stiff so steering is precise!  The "animal leg" seat stays and TT-style  cutaway seat-tube give the back end the feel of suspension without the weight and bobbing. The Manitou Tower Pro fork is very plush and laterally stiff thanks to the 15mm thru-axle that is really easy and fast to use.  It's the best feeling fork I've ever ridden. The Crank Brothers bar, stem, seat post, pedals, and saddle are all bombproof and light.  The saddle is super comfortable for those all day epics. Should you actually need to slow down or stop the TRP Dash Carbon brakes will stop you on a dime and give you a nickel for change.  The adjustable reach and power knobs are easy ...

iPHONE CAMERA

I must say, for a camera in a phone the iPhone does pretty well.  I post processed this one just a little bit and it handled the light and dark pretty well.  The biggest thing the iPhone does not handle well are the really bright to not-so-bright transitions.
