What's up with the "Addiction Addendum" thread? I don't get it.

No ride today. Today was for work in the morning, then to clean up the "rubbish" in the yard and then to burn stuff. It took a while since I had to use the chiminea (burn ban). Got it cleaned up, now football. Long ride manana.

Update: I spoke with the owner and the director of ops. They have heard my complaints and realize that changes are needed. "We dont want to see anyone quit."
They are going to address my complaints, and I get a couple of days off to chill. Still employed. I am a nervous wreck.
now to go for that ride.

Yes, those are skulls.
I'm waiting on a Thomson and a second Flite. I'll also be swapping out the road gearing, but for now, this is what you get.

I was perilously low on HEED and had been puzzling over purchasing some before I join the team I've been riding with and securing a nice discount. I had just about resigned myself to making a full retail purchase when Mrs. Herbie comes through.
Mrs. Herbie won her AG in a duathalon this morning. She brought home another shiny first place medal (to go with her recent collection of 5k ones) and a nice big vat of HEED.
Yaaayyyy! Mrs. Herbie. If she ever gets serious about cycling we are all eff'd.

Eff it, I'm going to until someone calls me out.

I need to start doing that. I tried a few months ago, but it started getting scary how much money it was all going to cost, so I put it off. Ignorance is bliss.

Just asking, why is the bike stuff before the car stuff? You need your car to get you places when you don't have time (or you have severe weather) to take the bike.

Razor, while the Droid (and most other "app-able" smart phones) will let you mimic a Garmin, one of the things to think about is the battery life. Most of the phones will not last as long as a dedicated cyclocomputer and if your phone dies, you've got no way to contact anyone in case of an emergency.
Also, if you ride with your mobile phone in a place where you can read it (ie, on your bars/stem) then you have to worry about it coming off, or get a very good mount for it. If it comes off an hits the road, you've pretty much just lost the phone. If you carry it where it won't be visible then it will be good for analyzing your ride later, but not much use on the bike.
If you can't tell, I'm not a big fan of using a smartphone for a cyclecomputer. I tried it with my iPhone, and while it's okay for a short ride, I really found it lacking on longer rides (35+ miles).
Again, YMMV...just my .02

Man, I understand it...I'm a big fan of newer, faster, better, lighter, etc. However, you need to consider what's REALLY important right now. Rather than spend every penny you get on new stuff, you should also be saving some for those rainy days that come along. And as someone who it has rained on pretty hard for a while, you should know what I mean...
Again, if I'm buttin' in, I apologize...I won't say anymore about it.
