31st and Bell. I took Jomax to 67th to Deer Valley to 51st to Grovers to 43rd to Bell...not a bad ride, but I hit every single light, grumble grumble grumble.

F'ing REI won't ship a CAAD10 to a SOHO shop because its too close to other Cannondale Dealers. So they won't take my $2200 is what they are trying to tell me. My local dealers won't budge on the 2450 price.

Almost t-boned someone when they pulled out into my lane from a parking lot, doing it in as wide a turn as they possibly could with their giant cadillac. Got lucky that there weren't any cars coming up behind me in the left lane. I started yelling as loudly as I could as I caught up and passed them, only to see that it was some little old woman. Had to be in her late 80s, early 90s. Me yelling and everything didn't even phase her.

If there isn't already, there needs to be a law about getting re-certified to operate a motor vehicle after a certain age.

IIRC i believe there have been numerous petitions to get this going before but its never been seriously considered by lawmakers

i for one am all for it, along with females driving white cars sicne thats all i ever seem to have problems with on the road (i am not a sexist person either)

Lost in the 2nd round of our conference tourney last night so I was able to catch an early morning flight back to colorado. Its like 60 and sunny here today, looks like I'm about to piece together this Lotus for an afternoon ride with my pops. Can't ask for a better spring break

Just went and saw 21 and over with a sqrl. Her choice. Was as expected, loaded with cliches, a very foreseeable outcome/series of events. But it did have its fair share of funny bits and moments, and she enjoyed it, so it was certainly worth it.

Higher Class 03-14-13 08:50 PM

acquired more bikes. that brings the count to 9. 2 fully functioning, 2 on deck with parts on order, 1 that just needs tubes, and the rest just awful.

TheRealFaux 03-14-13 09:55 PM

Today I ghost rode a bike 7 miles to the shop.

seau grateau 03-14-13 09:59 PM

Took my wheels to the shop. This bike is a Hydra. Fix one problem, two more pop up in its place.

Trust me, he was far too stoked about his new bike to even think about food.

seau grateau 03-14-13 10:09 PM


Some asiany looking dude with a curvy - pursuity track frame (spicer?) and wound up forgetting to clip out and eating it in chinatown. Its all good bud it happens to the best of us.
Today I saw this in the "I saw you" thread on an LA cycling forum. Reminds me of a certain J/A BF SSFGer...

blondieyo 03-14-13 10:12 PM

Today I went to the physio and received the most painful massage i've ever experienced on my lower leg in an effort to get some inflammation out of a ligament/tendon that's being stupid. I also have to wear a tubular bandage for the next week to reduce swelling and it's making me want to not go outside while it's still warm because I don't want to wear shorts. It also means I'm not allowed to ride my bicycle which is annoying me because it's perfect weather for it and getting to uni is far more difficult. FML
