If you were in Toronto I'd say it had most certainly been stolen.

Time to shower. TT bike really felt outstanding today. Position is friggin DIALED.

Nothing makes me feel more Fredly than riding that TT bike however. But I like it. Man that thing is fast going down hills.

I felt Fredly today being pulled by a rider on a MTB, but he's a strong rider when I've ridden with him when he's on his road bike. I'm not looking forward to the heat on the ride back home though.

You wouldn't believe the crap people give you for shaving legs in hs. Maybe you would, I don't know.

Some Fred was trying to hold my TT bike wheel on the MUP today (it was empty mid week as usual, just me and the Fred). I was riding moderate tempo. When I realized he was shadowing me, I put my head down, looked at the Ptap, and dialed it up to 300 watts on the slight upgrade for about a mile. When I looked back again, he was out of sight. That was fun.

Silly Freds.

A real BFer would have dialed it up to 400watts to drop that woosey.

I knew it would only take 300 watts. Why waste the calories?

Actually the only time most real BFers ever see 400 watts is when they're stalking the 33 threads.

I still haven't found my blinky.

Just wear a reflective vest. They're safer and you look fresh, bro.

A mile is 150 seconds @ 25 mph.

While I understand it's a matter of grave financial concern given its staggering $15 value and all, I'd still advise you to simply buy another.
