Today I meant to go out for a quick 20-miler, but accidentally made it 30.

I rode my bike outside today. It was nice and all, but there are no trains in Zwift, just saying.

Trivia: that's an automobile carrier.
The perforated, galvanized metal you see is designed to deflect bullets. Country folk get bored real easy and shooting expensive automobiles had become an olympic sport in some places. At one time bullet holes were the number one defect for new cars arriving at the dealership. The result is what you see in the pic.

Ended up needing to borrow a shop pump today to reseat a bead mid-ride and was taken by surprise of the backlit color digital gauge of Giant's control tower 0 floor pump.
The red psi digits blink when the preset pressure is met or exceeded.
The presta/ schrader chuck on it sucks though

"Let's put a backlit digital pressure gauge on it!"
"OK but what about the thing that puts the air in the tire?"
"It'll be FINE."

electronic pressure gauge is completely unnecessary, can you imagine not being able to pump up your tires because you didn't have a battery for your air pump? another gimmick to make a simple tool appear better than it is.

Today I'm really enjoying my new Polar v650 HRM/GPS.
Still have some tweaking to do, especially around heart rate zones but this thing is really slick.

Today I rode my second century fixed, first self-supported.
Needless to say it was silly to push 80 gear inches up more than 4000 feet of elevation.

Yesterday I took my new SS Centurion conversion out for a spin.. Not the best ride -- picked the wrong gear ratio in addition to discovery of the QR being to worn in the back. The chain fell off more times than I care to count which was really ****ing annoying. Other than that, good ride -- not nearly as many people out as i thought there was going to be

My ass is chapped from riding in extremely sweaty (they were clean when I started) shorts for two hours yesterday.

Today has been a glorious day - I took it off work.
*Surfed BF and played piano in the AM.
*Went on an exploratory MTB ride in the canyons (Tecolote) by my apt and found some techy stuff. Lots of cleverly placed rock gardens.
*Just cooked a bunch of food to have leftovers for the work week:
-Chili-Lime marinaded chicken, grilled
-Cilantro-Lime rice, w fried onions and garlic, and lotssss of cilantro
-Roasted Asparagus: evoo, salt, pepper, shaved parmesan
-Avocado Slices w salt and cayenne
Up next: clean my apt at a lazy pace, some more piano, get to bed early.

I got older today. Wish I could go back to being younger much much younger. Ah well at least I got to celebrate with a bunch of friends and chill at the beach yesterday and avoid much of the forth.

I heard vegans can eat whatever they want on their birthdays and it doesn't count toward their moral compass.

I don't "cheat" as people call it because if I cheated it would be a rather deadly game.
