Don't mind the dirtiness of it, but rode to work because it wasn't going to be single digits for the 2nd time in 2 weeks.

Took the family to the Texas Hill Country for Spring Break. Brought my bike along for a 47 mile ride with elevation. Nice change of pace from the flat lands of Houston.

Here are a couple of shots from recent rides:
Largely these are all up and around La Habra/Hacienda Heights/Whittier in So Cal. They're all pulled from my Instagram account, so bear with the square shape and filters.

Man, you west coast folks have some beautiful trails to ride. Mine is all heavy woods. Even on the road, I don't have 1/10th of the sky visible that you guys do. The coolest part of going on vacation down to South Carolina is how much sky I can see and not constantly being in the woods everywhere I go.

One week before the Houston - Austin MS 150, the "free" safety inspection discovers my ride is on its death bed and I need to start bike shopping ASAP. I'm not complaining that I finally got the upgrade I've been drooling over, but I'm a little concerned changing up my ride this late in the game. Training has been going really well. I hope the new geometry and saddle are forgiving. Anyway, here I am on my ride this weekend (first weekend all year I haven't been on the road!):

I probably could have ridden it, but the thought of having the BB go out while out on the road is not very appealing to me. I've been itching to upgrade my bike, but was hoping to put it off till later in the year. This was a justifiable excuse to drop the cash now.
BTW - Re: BP MS150. I signed up with the Ready2Roll Training Series this year. It's a collection of companies that put it on, and you have to be employed by one of the member companies to join. It is very well organized and definitely worth signing up. This is the best shape I've been in for one of these long distance rides.

A list of easy fixes, true wheels, replace chain, replace rear brake cable and pads. But the biggie... the bottom bracket was going bad. The bike was over 10 years old. It sat in floodwaters for 2 days after Katrina. The bike shop could not get the BB to budge. It was seized in the frame. They even bought an impact wrench to muscle it out. No luck.

Thanks. I couldn't get the old saddle to mount onto the new seat post. I may just swap out seat post and all for this ride. We'll see.

grr... don't ya just hate when you read though a quote and notice one of the dumb spelling errors lol... anyway...
for the seat... ah different mounting design between posts I assume or is it the way the set up the front tension bolt? at least it's the common 27.2 post so swapping is easy
flood waters will do nasty things... you move to Katy after the hurricane then? what was the old bike?... anyway BIG upgrade... when I drop a bit more weight I've considered the Roubaix... enjoy it and enjoy the ride... I have plenty of friends who've done it and hear great things about it... maybe next year I'll manage to train decently over the winter, my aunt has MS and it's nasty stuff... she's now in an assisted living facility and has been for like 15 years now... used to be the most athletic person anyone knew... sadly MS hit her real hard

Sorry... back to the bike(s). Old: 04 Specialized Allez Triple. New: 14 Specialized Roubaix SL4 Sport. I was really interested in the Secteur Expert Disc (w/full 105 component set up), but frankly I was lucky they even had a decent selection of large frame bikes at all for my immediate need. The Roubaix Sport has a Tiagra front derailleur.
I am fortunate to not have any personal experience with the disease. The ride raises a ton of money for research. That's a good thing, I guess.

It is made by a company called Moon Saddle, takes a little getting used to, but the best money I have ever spent (besides getting a bike that is)

Went out for a nice ride around Wolf Lake (both the Indiana and Illinois sides) earlier this morning. Thought I'd share a few pics...
City of Hammond build a new trail over the lake. It's about 1000' long. They did a nice job with it....
Action Cam selfie while taking a few minute break...
Looking out over Wolf Lake on the Illinois side...
While taking a rest break, came upon these. I'm surprised mama and papa goose let me get as close as I did. Was about 3 feet away. Usually mama and papa are hissing and flapping their wings in order to scare you off.

I thought I'd share some pics I took earlier this week while I was riding.
