oh you fancy. wish they made hood replacements in that texture for all the brifters/levers though, combined with the tape that must be one comfy ass bar setup

Yesterday: Beach and World War Z (was okay). Today: sunburn. First 4th of July off work in about 5 years. What did I do? Go in to the shop to overhaul a suspension fork and build a wheel. Love me some Parallax hubs.

Over here im about to put in about an hr total riding from my apt in Linda Vista to Adam's Ave Bikes and back to pick up my clothing order; it might net me like 15 or 16 miles, pretty easy. May hang out and chat for a bit depending on who's there. I'm gonna take the fixed, ride 42/18t today and do some ab work when I get back.

I feel surprisingly good today given the fact that I for sure had more beers/drinks than hours of sleep and I got a lot of sleep last night. slept in lots

So our first offer on a house was flat rejected. My wife had a complete meltdown over it, which was surprising considering the amount of HGTV she watches.

We're gonna soft-pedal a bit while we let our realtor find some stuff. There comes a point after looking at all these houses where they kinda just start to resemble each other.

Also, riding the Monocog is the ****ing tits. It sounds like a freight train riding on pavement. Hopefully I'll be able to find some time for singletrack this weekend. WHIRRRRRR.

yesterday I was off work, ate lots of grilled meats, got kind of drunk, then went for a late night ride. Lived to talk about it.

today I was *technically* off work, but was advised to be on-call just in case anything with urgency popped up. Did laundry. Hated it as much as I hate it any other day. Received no urgent calls and work hours are officially done, so got off scott-free. Lazy Friday... except for laundry. I really hate doing laundry.

Today I did around 50 miles and was drenched in sweat because of the heat and humidity. Me and the kilo team are starting to get along really well. I feel like I need more setback, but the only post I have with more setback is 27.0 instead of 27.2 , should I just shim it?
