Just got a text from the painter that my Gianni Motta is finished. Get to see it hopefully by Tuesday. I asked him to send me a pic.

For fun I looked up Addiction threads and I saw an Addiction thread I started that predates these Addiction threads. It must have been too clinical, as it did not have a long life.

I eat and drink so much during the annual century I do that I'd need a backpack of supplies, not a fanny pack.

Gary is probably the fastest to visit Addiction.

I did the Buff Classic when I got back on the bike, and I'm glad I did. I can't imagine doing it again.

She said, "When did you start dieting?"

I said, "About an hour and a half ago. Do we have any food in the house?"

We used to leave from Central Park and ride up to Bear Mountain and back. A few guys made it a regular thing, but I bailed after the second time. I just couldn't see the point in intentionally making oneself uncomfortable. I figured if I'm going to be spending that much energy I might as well be playing a ball sport. :D

Toss up between Racer Ex and Gary. Both way above my pay grade.

My photo shoot was a bit of a fiasco. Lens recommended by you guys was right on. But I thought it was going to be a moving tour so I brought the monopod. Instead it was much more static. We stopped at four places for 25 minutes each. So I could have used a regular tripod quite nicely. My friend was shooting with a tripod at ISO 100 for 20 seconds. I had a faster lens, but still had to shoot at ISO 800 for 1/4 second or so. I'm afraid I got crap. Probably a ton of noise. I am uploading the file now. Stay tuned. More to come.

I use Giro Bravos. I tried the Nashbar old timey ones with the crocheted back and they quickly rotted away. Without any gloves, I am unable to maintain any grip on the bars. I've even used Giro Zeros, but they don't wick the sweat as well.

I put it out to my photographer uncle that there was a big gravel ride tomorrow that might make for good photos.

I gave him a few key locations, like they muddy b road.
