There is a strong likelihood that I will be maintainably below 200 lbs by the end of the week, provided I maintain my lowered calories and daily 3-5 miles of stupid. When I hit 198, my BMI will move from "overweight" to "normal". I can't remember the last time I was normal.

Today's ride was super foggy the first hour or so. It was wet and gritty. Luckily we missed the ice spots and no crashes or flats.
Somehow I over-loosened my front wheel's nut opposite the QR lever, and in the process lost the stupid little cylindrical spring that goes between the hub and the nut.
I was daring and rode without it!

i will try the ladies' bike with the triple. i might get to the top of a climb that has caused me to abandon the attempt twice already.
my post ride sushi bar eating is at a place run by a racer. he keeps asking me to ride with him but i think that would be too embarrassing. he tells me that climb is too steep for most riders and i shouldn't do it.

Some of my new colder weather gear came today...it was probably a dumb idea to get a black jacket/vest in the first place. I now have bright blue, commuting can commence without fear of getting run over at night.

that depends. unless it has some reflective tape/logos it will be just as invisible as black. It's at least one, (or two: one steady, one blinking) headlight and taillight that should prevent you becoming roadkill at night. anything else and you are just kidding yourself.

Yeah, the black jacket and vest have no reflecting tape/logo, the new jacket does. The light situation is taken care of. Guess it's all peace of mind.
It was also kind of chilly in the morning with only a light wind jacket/fingerless gloves, the new stuff should keep me warmer. Plus I have baselayers coming on Saturday to help out with the warmth as well.

Runishment continues. I can almost smell normal. Provided normal smells sweaty, and a little like ass.
In bike news, I have been starting to get gear for my Cirque du NY in the spring. I bought a Revelate Tangle frame bag, and Tacx axle nuts to get the SS on the Vortex trainer. I ordered a large Topeak Drybag saddlebag, but received the wrong thing (large Topeak Aero Wedge bad). When I called the supplier, they very nicely told me that they couldn't get the Drybag anymore, credited by MC, and sent the Aero bag gratis. So I'm disappointed, but more than made whole.
And Nashbar is ditching the Look Quartz pedals, marked off 50%. When the additional 20% hit, I ordered 3 sets. Woot!
