Still kicking.
I think I ventured into P&R the whole time it's been there like 5 or 6 times.

when i went awol, it was because i was unable to ride my bike. i didn't have it here with me. i wonder when people go awol maybe its the same. things get in the way of riding. it happens to all of us but i found that in those times, health deteriorates. i put on weight. i eat badly. i get lazy. cycling helps me stay on the right path.

by the way, i am loving the 90mm stem. no pains and light steering. i had no idea a stem can make such a difference to bike handling.

VV is enamored with P&R now. He likes it wild and wooly.
Poor fella, never got over being locked outta trollheim. He figures P&R is close as he's gonna get.

i sold it to a friend and when i was setting it up for her, she asked me to lower the seat so she could sit and reach the ground with her foot. ridiculous. a finely built road bike ridden like a shopping bike.

Casually Deliberate
The Terry saddle wasn't working for me so I'm thinking of switching to the Fizik Arione Tri 2 we've got in the shop. Which is funny because nearly everyone who comes into the shop wants a softer wider saddle. Not sure I could cope with the legend of a Brooks even if I could afford one and it wouldn't look dumb on my 820.
So far I have changed the wheels, tires (twice), bars, stem, and seat (three times) on this bike. Probably barely recognizes itself.
