But the following bicycle ride and dinner out with my wife brought me back down to earth. Best part was when my wife surprised me with bianchi celeste painted nails. :D Trip was great; the lady and I went for brunch when I got here, ran a few small errands, and then I needed a nap in the worst way. Went for a short ride this evening and made a nice light dinner and am just about ready to call it a day here. |
Got the Raleigh almost back together.

Today, i took my Fixed Gear COMPLETELY apart bottom bracket and all, and painted it. now its in the local bike shop for re assembly (dont have the tools to do it myself) and a tune up. cant wait to pick it up tomorrow!
|
Wow, I let my bike dry and cure for a week before I reassembled it.. Be careful not to scratch it.
|
I helped a guy assemble his Super Pista with ****ty wheels, $5 tires, and a riser bar with Oury grips :notamused:
It kinda felt like the thing with Carleton and Prolly. At least it was fun to handle that frame and see it up close. I can't believe I was ready to pull the trigger on one of these a several months ago, **** |

Had an interview for an unpaid internship. Pretty sure I self-sabotaged it just to avoid the unpaid part. Planning on going riding regardless of how **** it is outside today.

How did you take your bike apart without very same tools required to put it back together?

did a uber mini tour of some of the small towns in my surrounding area. Waldo, Hampton, Keystone Heights, Melrose, Hawthorne, and finally back to Gainesville. 66.0 miles total. Didn't have a computer, but it felt like I was doing about 17.5mph the first half to conserve energy. Ate two muffins and a scone and drank some coffee in Melrose, and picked up the pace on the way home. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery... too bad I was all alone. It was kind of peaceful, but I love riding with friends. They all just think riding down the highway is crazy. :(
yes, on a geared bike |
i'm going on vacation... to Fresno, which doesn't seem like a vacation at all. i'm excited nonetheless
|
I used to live in Fresno. I suppose anywhere can be a vacation if you enjoy yourself.
|
Today I missed the bus and biked the full 25km to work and was only 10 mintues late, feels good man.

^^ oh right. *derp*
But Scrod, amirite about using Tri-Flow instead of grease? I'd understand if they didn't have any grease and just wanted to sell me something, but there was a bottle of Park Tool grease right there on the shelf. Which i ended up taking. |

It depends which out of ~20+ tri flow lubricating product it was...
|
Yeah, man...there's a lot of Tri-flow products (and I've never met one of them I was particularly fond of).

no, that'd been great too!
we started in seattle, ferry to bainbridge, road to port townsend (crossing the hood canal bridge via bike is a trip!) then ferried over to widbey, then road the down to the mukliteo ferry, then back down into seattle. such an awesome time. port townsend is amazing I miss Seattle. Today I realized that I'm getting a raise in a few weeks and that my new IRO is not as far off as initially anticipated... I am pleased. |
