I went for a ride this afternoon for the sole purpose of reclaiming a Strava KOM.

The amount if time I spend on BF is directly related to the compunction to buy unneeded bike stuffs and the amount of money spent on said stuffs. I don't need another bike, but I am thinking of my next build because it is 'almost spring'.

I also admit that whenever I'm on Strava and see someone has accidentally entered a ride with 0 miles, I have to give them a kudo.

Too fat for this sport, I weigh 102kg's at a body length of 1.86m.
I not even nearly make enough mileage on my road bike.
I love the idea of having an awesome bike, but still wouldn't ride as much as I should.
My bike is too fat for this sport, it weighs around 11kg's.

I was over at my dad's helping him install a new garage door opener, and needed to cut some angle iron with an angle grinder. I pretty much never wear shoes except at work and on the bike, so I didn't have any shoes with me except my cycling shoes in the trunk of the car. So I put on my cycling shoes to protect my feet from the sparks

Friday night I got all hopped up while watching retro racing videos from the 90's on YouTube, and I ended up buying a Mapei jersey on eBay.
Since I live in rural PA, and not Italy or Belgium, the jersey may be considered a bit flamboyant. I will probably just wear it on cooler days, under a windbreaker. It is similar to this one, but I am NOT getting the matching shorts, ever.

A few years back I spent a weekend researching, doing math, adding costs, compiling supply vendors, all with the intention of making my own CF frame.

I prefer my nasty old Raleigh Competition to my Colnago so nobody expects me to be fast.
