Only the real deal when I'm up in NYC and Jersey.

Really, n j k? You mean to tell me you don't have enough self control to just peak into a thread and decide to go somewhere else? So you stayed, felt your attention wasted, and decided to complain about it instead of going somewhere else? Noted.

Thread is ruined now, closed.

Sometimes, but generally I prefer toast made from my homemade Italian bread. I have been eating more eggs lately though, along with the Italian bread toast.

No, the attention was wasted with the peek.

I guess my self control is as bad as yours and everybody else who posted in this thread.

The season is changing, I'll be riding the same fat bike all year around.

I'm not going to post more or less because of it.

I don't care about it and neither should you.

Its currently 63 degrees with calm skies and I will ride my bike for about 80 minutes later today. It will be 6 miles of paved road, 10 miles of gravel, and 5 miles of paved road.
My front rotor was pinging at one spot, and I straightened it out on the stand. I hope it doesnt scrape when I stand and climb out of the saddle.


I will be sure to post an update sometime after the ride so everyone can know if the rotor rubbed or not.

It’s around 55 here, but the wind is gusting over 35 mph. I will not be riding until tomorrow. But I do have a hot date in a few hours. I’ll post an update to let everyone know how it went.

i just ordered my first of two tubes of ButtButter for the season.

i use it freely until towards the middle of september when tube #2 is getting low and i don't want to order a third just for the odd chance i need a squirt or two just to finish up the season.

i always have to psych myself up for those warm october day rides when there's the real potential i'll have to "go commando!"

I’m not a creeper, but you do you.

It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great. The Turkish food was very good, however. And it wasn’t super expensive. It’s amazing how a BYO place can save you some $$. We had what would probably have been $48 worth of wine at a licensed place for $17.

this isn't Bumble. why would you assume i wanted your social calendar invading my season's ride reports?

now anyone who does a search for 'southpier's riding pointers' is going to be waylaid by your antics. and vise-visa.

thanks a bunch.

Vise-versa?

Hey all, just thought everyone should know that today I had a turtle free 10.5mi ride of road and single track with my wife and youngest.
We did find a Dutch Letter at a bake shop heading home though.

me and the guys went wheelin' today (four - not two) and came across a nest of baby ducks.

i never realized they could fly before growing feathers.

of course it took a bit to get all the poop of our rigs. we just headed over to the little pond on the trail and drove through it a few times.

guess those pesky terrapins won't be botherin' folks any longer.

tomorrow, if'n the weather holds, we're loadin' up early, blastin' some Skynrd, and heading for the bog down on the property that had the no trespassing sign shot off the tree.

we gots plenty o' brewskies and the gals are comin' down around mid afternoon, so it's shapin' up to be a good weekend afterall.
