How much do you enjoy washing your bike?

Well in that case, the Bears drafted kids from Ashland, North Carolina A&T, and someplace called Kutztown.

There's a nice festival in Kutztown.

Thoughts?? Should I get to work on Kickstarter?

People still use frame pumps?

People don't?

Yup. More popular are the mini pumps that are 5-8 inches long. I can devise a telescoping mechanism for the selfie stick component, like an antenna on an old fashioned TV.

I just came in from digging up a small patch of pachysandra and moving it several feet on orders of mrs datlas. I told her she should have married a landscaper, my hand and wrist and back are sore. More sore from 1 hour of digging/lifting than from 6 hours of cycling. Sigh.

These people would FREAK!

Mrs. rjones28 cut the lawn yesterday. First clipping of the season.

datlas 04-30-17 08:09 AM

Next comes lawnmowing. I want to start but don't want to piss of the neighbors with noise on a Sunday morning. I figure 10:30 is a reasonable start time. In the meantime I lubed my chain from yesterday. It was a very wet and gritty ride for a couple hours and the bike was a mess. I hosed it down yesterday so it's reasonably clean.

What's the best chain lube??

Did she Strava it??

Another day in the hammock. 88°A as we speak. It's a good thing these things are so darn comfortable. I have, however, been feeling back twinges the past couple days. Being overly sedentary is certainly the cause.

Oh, and I don't know where I'm going. Can't get the damn course on to my Garmin.

He also liked to point out that, "you can say ass."

I will not be there. Seems like it would get cancelled but apparently they were up there at 3:00 a.m. getting it ready.

I can tell right away that a few of the decals are missing. Italian bikes back then went extreme with the number of decals and I can see that he left a few off. I told him that he could but I expected him to ask for a plot or check pics on the net. Obviously, he used his own judgement and that will be fine. I wasn't looking for an accurate restore.

He has offered to polish my Nouvo Record group for me. Still debating on that.

I used to visit Addiction occasionally, shook my head and left. Once or twice, I posted an Pcad or somebody hurt my feelings so I didn't hang around. :lol:

Thanks. I was so relieved to be done with Addiction I.........turns out I seem to be addicted.

I tried regestering for SocialCyclist, just to keep tabs on the maestro, and mikey, but it couldn't be done.
