Yeah, I really need to bring my rollers to work one day and get them sorted. There seems to be some excess play in one of the drums, and it causes a hell of a noise from time to time. Otherwise, I'd probably just jump on those for the sake of getting some spin time. I don't have a standard trainer.

^^ Wrist is generally preferred by patient, but depends on your radial artery size and anatomy.
Interesting story, the "angioseal" they use to seal the groin site after femoral artery catheterization, was invented by one of my patients.

I might just have to accept that this will be a short week. I've got a lot going on and 2 parties to go to this weekend. I was just hoping to keep it at 50+ miles a week, but stuff happens. If I can get a solid 30 miles in this weekend, I'll just have to do that.

A.) 90%++ of sports car buyers (including me) are never going to drag their car out on track day for a number of reasons.
B.) 90%++ of sports car buyers (including me) are never going to approach the performance limits of their car or race some other idiot on public roads.
C.) We just want to KNOW that OUR CAR IS THE FASTEST because sports cars, particularly $50K+ sports cars, are mostly a key factor in the Boys Will Be Boys Great American Dick Measuring Contest. So it's not about how fast WE drive the cars, it's about how fast the car can go so Car & Driver will print a smokin lap time you can point to when you're in the Great American Dick Measuring Contest (which mostly takes place on the Internet).
D) Track weenies are clueless, they are utterly oblivious to the true nature, purpose and culture of sports cars in the USA, and the ironic part is that THEY think all the OTHER sports car fatsos like ME know nothing.
It's essentially a Perfect Storm of Stupid with faster cars, older men, limper dicks, higher speeds and a larger price tag than other similar scenarios, like www.bikeforums.net.

This...
...is 100% correct.
Bravo. It's rare to see this level of self-awareness. And I'm not being snide here either.
I mean, I CAN be snide - just not this time. Chapeau.

I will light a Traction (But Not TOO Much Please Lord) Candle for you on my next Asian trip @ the Sisters of the Drifted Turn Chapel Altar in Hibachi, Japan.

Gonna get it on at some Austin singletrack after the new year.
Iron Mountain needs to hurry up and get me on board already so I can start picking up some ultralight camping equip.

When? All I remember is thick gauze and lots of tape.

In other bike related news: a former co-worker of mine is now the North Texas area sales rep for Trek. I really should use that to my advantage somehow...

In all seriousness, do you know what really sucks? When I first saw my Crockett frame on the website in the pink colourway, I fell in love. Absolutely had to have it. Went back to the shop and built bikes over the Christmas holidays to pay for it. About a year or so later, I notice a LOT of the guys at the shop have a pink Crockett. I asked about it at the party. Turns out they didn't move well and all the guys who bought the frame got it on DEEP discount at about 1/3 of the price I paid for it.
I think I said it earlier, but yeah I'm a sucker.
