Doods, stfu and stop acting like you're 12 years old girls. Jesus.

Everybody just step away from the computer for a while.

Ever put a tampon in backwards?








Me neither.

I honestly don't care enough to do a comparison. You being snooty about it isn't going to change my mind either.

... Anyway. Today I am going to participate in a 2-mile group ride through Richardson Grove (in the redwood forest near Garberville) in celebration of the fall harvest. Yes, TWO miles. I thought it was a joke or a typo. Should be fun, though. I'm going to miss the redwoods so much when I leave for Idaho. :(

fall harvest in humbolt huh? prolly too stoned to ride farther than 2 miles :D

Today I'm heading out for yet another swim meet. Yesterday we met this guy:

He gave us some words of encouragement and shared his life story (he got diagnosed with testicular cancer just before the 2008 Olympic Trials, was able to compete before enduring treatment/surgery). Chatted it up with him later in the evening and got his autograph. Also, he does some work with LIVESTRONG too. He's a really cool guy.

Today I'm going to ride my sw8 fixay. Been a while.

Just cleaned the drive and put my gold anodized tarck drops on. Shinin' like a lamp.

Today I found out I should have surgery on my left shoulder. It seems that due to an accident a year ago that resulted in a dislocation, my collarbone sits about an inch behind and half inch above where it should actually be. On that note, I'm gonna ride 15 miles to a concert, play drums, and then ride 15 miles home. Good times.

damn that sucks. you should go to an acupuncturist and see what they say before you get the surgery.

hmm...maybe i should get mine looked at again. mine is way crooked.

today i bought ridiculously expensive rando bars and levers all taped up and then put them on. they were the 26.0 version and i have a nitto 25.4 stem, and that should not have been a big deal but the stem was THE BIGGEST ***** IN THE WORLD and i swore and cursed and hit things and threw metal against metal and punched my bed and had a fit of rage for about an hour before just heating the metal up enough to bend it enough to get the bars in.

I feel your pain, but I lol'd.

Today I did another metric. The secret to dealing with the 12 microclimates in the peninsula area? Wool.

Five minutes with a Dremel and a steady hand would have been an easier fix.

Today I figured out my bike is too modern for C&V and too classic for SS/FG.

started polishing an old frame i have. gonna build it up all nice and dandy

That's the plan.

i have 26.0 quills (120mm tho, if that matters)

rode the ALS ride today in napa valley. supposedly a century "lite" at 92 miles but my friend and i got lost and ended up finishing up at around 108 (made a second 1/2 pass up mount veeder before realizing i was off course). actually feel pretty great right now, but some saddle pains will probably keep me off the bike for another day or two.

Great job! Bet it was beautiful!

Today I:

Went out for a 20 mile ride. Forcast was for rain, so I threw on the fenders. 15 miles into it, the rain starts dumping... It was one of the best rides I've been on. Too bad I wear glasses and could barely see anything. Definitely good times!

Also noted that today was the first time I've ever felt a lack of braking power...

how does the brooks feel with a little drop between the saddle and bars?

As happy as I was that we had our first rain today... I wasn't happy it started in the middle of a ride.

play 18 holes at the golf club of dublin.

coolio.

Today I procrastinated all day, ended up getting in a quick 20-mile ride in the afternoon.
