I rode the TT bike today. Now I feel better. This dental stuff is nasty. Hope my gum stops hurting. Oh well. Getting old sucks, but the alternative is no bargain. On the other hand, I am a Mets fan, so death is the easy way out.

But I'm no Wussy.

I changed my chain today. I didn't record when my last change was, but it might have been 8,000 or 9,000 miles ago.

The chain was a little bit over 1/16" long, but my initial test (light ride up the street) suggests that the cassette is still OK.

This is my first time using a Wippermann chain.

So that was in 1999?

Pcad, hope you feel better I need to do a extrication and implant as well.

I could get a new bike for the cost.

You're not kidding. This stuff is expensive. Oh well. Beats dentures.

So if some of you 41ers want to come up here for a ride one of these Sundays or Saturdays I could accommodate you, if I'm not racing. Maybe a 50 mile ride, then maybe some BBQ. A mini Mt. Doom BBQ, limited to 5 or 6 of you guys. I don't need Doomstock. Hell, I should charge you peons for a Pcad Seminar. Maybe $100 each, but that would include the BBQ and all the Diet Orange Soda you can drink. My house is 40 minutes north of Paramus, it's all highway. Kimco we could figure out a way to get you back and forth too if you're sans car. Maybe ride up to Ft. Lee and hook up with jorge.

I think that could be fun.

It is ironic that the week I finally buy a car you open up your house... will you have me pcad?

I add to my mileage total at an even more dizzying pace than I add to my daunting post count.

OK. But now you're stalkng me. And that question sounds utterly Gay. But I don't mind. I'm a Democrat.

My Slice TT bike felt really dialed in today. Far more comfortable on it than I have ever been, position still looks aero, I think I'm good to go. That only took 2+ years. It's pretty cool when you hunker down on the aero armrests because it's actually more comfy than the cow horns. That's the whole friggin idea.

The first sign of Caligula-esque behavior and I'll be on my way thanks.

The new chain seemed fine. If Wippermanns indeed last longer than Shimanos, I wonder how long I can run this baby?

Maybe I'll set a new BikeForums chain endurance record.
