You guys do it in Salt Lake City?? thats awesome! A kid here started it after riding in colorado

True. It's always awesome right in the center too.

I find myself all alone in a desolate roadway completely devoid of all humans with a flat rear waiting for my patch to vulcanize. If I shall not live to post again MAY THE GODS AVENGE MY DEATH WITH THE WRATHS OF A BAJILLION PUS FILLED SADDLE SOARS FOR THE RIDERS OF NEXT YEAR'S TOUR DE FRANCE.

You'll thank me when team cars are racing around with jars of ointment. :lol:

The first X-rated TDF......?

Tonight was racing at the track. Borrowed my girlfriend's old bike since it fits me better than mine, but in the first tempo race noticed that the front wheel was untrue and I felt terribly unsafe at highspeed so I pulled off and changed wheels.

6 lap scratch race: At lap two I found myself 20 ft ahead of second place, so I said to myself "**** it, just go!". I think I got about 100m ahead then hit the wall of death =[ . Finished fourth of six, so at least I didn't die too badly. Live and learn.

Then i missed the points race since I was too busy upchucking smoothie and powerade ;]

On the bright side, I got upgraded to race Cat 4 now.

Yeah, it's spooky that way.

Hahaha. Rookie mistake. :)

Rookie mistake #2 :D

Congrats!

Today I biked in the rain, with my steel frame. :( I had to, it rained out of no where and only way to get home.

Don't sweat it. As long as it was properly lubed up, you should be fine.

Today I:

started a FB.

F me, I know.

Dem girls I haven't seen for a while, though, popped up quick like whaaa?

Today I: Will hopefully get my new wheelset from Retro-gression so I can ride my bike again.

We should all meet up for an "eye of the storm ride."

Epic.

Yesterday I and 7 friends ate a whole hog dinner at this place, and it was free (except for drinks and tip) thanks to my friend winning a contest on their Facebook page.

Then I got home and checked Twitter to find out another friend's wheelset got jacked. She was so upset. Earlier this year, she had worked some deal with stanridge speed to get a custom frame; version 1 arrived and turns out, it did not fit. So she waited another month+ to get version 2 which she just got built up Wednesday night. Version 2 fits great and she is in love with it. Less than 24hrs later, she stopped to buy coffee beans at a coffee shop, and only locked the frame. Came out 5 minutes later and both wheels, gone. Luckily it was a fairly inexpensive wheelset and she's dating a bike messenger and good friends with a guy that works in a shop, so she already has it back up and running on loaner wheels. Still, I feel really bad for her. I'm also glad I don't live in her neighborhood - in the last few months, I have one friend who got his entire bike stolen, two others that got their back wheels stolen, and this friend that got both wheels jacked. All in the same (rapidly gentrifying, hipstery) neighborhood.

1. rain don't kill steel, being left outdoors 24/7 and salt and other dirt with that rain do. riding home in the rain is fine if you clean your bike semi-regularly.

2. facebook is the devil

3. hipsters should lock their wheels

Today I posted the pics for the weekly fixed 20miles rides we do on wednesdays, they came out very nice since I took em in a rush :)

That's how far I got before I said **** it and went out instead. I don't have the tools to put this bike together. I live near a Sports Basement and they charge $100 for assembly so I may just do that.

Facebook sucks, but I <3 Google+.

today i looked around for a place to secure my motorcycle to during this storm. since i moved over here i havent had a garage which really sucks. im thinking about moving it up on the sidewalk and tying it to a telephone pole.

Haha oh yeah. The rest of the track was cheering me on - but in that, "Haha, let's see how long he lasts," kind of way. Definitely not in that kind of anaerobic shape anymore.


Today I bought a USA cycling license.

You can't put it in your apartment? You could also try and get a storage pod but you're running out of time...

no way i could get it into my apartment. the bike has rode out many snow and rain storms but the thing that worries me is the wind.

Bungee cords? Maybe locked to a railing or a pillar?

i have proper tie down straps i just need a place to put it! lol

Good luck during the storm BTW. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Ate a bug... Took another one a few minutes later to the eye. ICK

Finally fulfilled my dream of getting a cute bun-bun today and named her poppy!
