Today I got home after completing my first Century and Metric Century. Amsterdam to Antwerp with an average speed of about 23km/hr. Slept there for the night and came back this morning on the train. Whoo!

My brother found one of those 65T Schwinn chainrings from an exercise bike and was determined to use it. He drilled it for the BCD of a crank he had lying around, and mated it to a 21T cog in back. I thought the gearing would be tough, but it's actually pretty manageable.

Get a SSCX. Way more versatile and you can race it.

Just got a packet at work with a workout plan in preparation for a utility pole climbing camp next month. Some weird-ass stretches in there...

today ****ing sucked.
second day of classes so 15000 students are at the dumb school, the children of our future are completely ********. god help us all.
rained all day, aparently my vans have holes in them so my feet were soaked all day long
on my way home i had a car full of 3 little ****teens threw a bag of mcdonalds trash at me from a moving car. caught up to them at the light and we yelled profanities at each other and i took their plate and description down.
proceeded on my way and about 6 miles later had some woman try to stop me at a light to lecture me on why i shouldnt be riding a bike IN A BIKE LANE ON THE ROAD.
got home and tried to go through the proper channels by calling the precinct and not 911 (since its obviously not an emergency and that is precisely what they tell you when you dial 911) to report those little ****s and the guy is like, "we cant take reports over the phone, if he just threw trash at you and noone was injured theres nothing we can really do, you have to call 911 and have them come to you to file a report"
i have a description of all 3 of them, the make and model of their car, their license plate, time and location of the incident, and noone wants to be bothered. if that trash got caught in my wheel and i was roadkilled by the car behind me im sure they wouldve been on scene in 3 minutes.
no wonder people get away with everything, noone gives a **** unless youre dying or on fire.

It was a good morning.
