job?

BigglyPuff 10-29-11 05:58 PM

Practiced track-standing for about 20 minutes.

Biked to my work to see what the commute would be like. Got told by someone in a car passenger seat to "get off the road man!".

Took some pics of the bike.

Time for UFC 137.

Today I realized that due to a run in with a car last night during CM (before the drinking started) I'm bruised, sore, and the un-proud owner of a cracked helmet. Bike is fine, phone is fine, just the helmet.

BigglyPuff 10-29-11 06:31 PM

Edited. Yikes, dunno what I was saying.

Today I learnt and became familiar with my first Track bike a PINO MORRONI (made in Detroit). It was very cool.

Today, despite having a bad cold, I went on a 30mi ride with some friends through the rolling hills north of Spokane and up to Bear Lake. Also another friend of mine finished his Peugeot conversion with my old Eigthinch wheelset.
Eastern WA in the fall is so picturesque. This is the lake we rode to:

Today I:

Rode 6 miles on mah new-to-me SLR... That thing feels really good. Can't wait to ride the distance and really feel what it's like.

Cool shot! I'm paranoid to ride with my DSLR :\

Lilcphoto 10-29-11 11:03 PM

Sherblock 10-29-11 11:10 PM

Today I got my replacement wheel in and went for a ride. Velocity Aerohead to shimano 105.


I also wanted to kill myself after going to tarck, finding this thread-

http://forums.mtbr.com/29er-bikes/ca...rk-745314.html

And reading 8 long pages about some ******* who had a component on his bike break and ended up suing the company. Derp. "im ridin rigid carbon mtb fork, snaps at steerer. it can't be my fault because I'm perfect. i like free money."

with some "forks should never fail. they should last forever. they tested it wrong. i already bought 2 of these forks, but won't put them on now and won't return them" mixed in.

Have you guys ever seen these bags before?

~Today I didn't feel that well in the morning, so I decided to sleep in instead of heading out to the meet up spot for the group ride and instead did a lot of catching up with work and stuff to do around the house. Later, I made lunch for my wife and rode all the way downtown to deliver it to her hipster messenger style. She was surprised when she opened up the box and found PB&J's which I used to buffer the philly cheese steak sandwich I had made.

Lilcphoto 10-29-11 11:15 PM

my link was prolly too . . . how sad

But onto the meat and potatoes... I really don't quite like hauling around that big of a bag. I rarely carry a spare lens.

redpear 10-29-11 11:16 PM

I've seen them only in a shop, not in the wild. I also do not know anyone who uses one or who has bought one. They're pretty new one the scene, so that definitely plays a part. I like the detailing--not sure if there is enough volume and durability to warrant the price though.

Well at least I had the decency to forewarn. :p

Yeah, and you thought MW bags were a premium. I'm more looking for a internal solution for DSLR protection if you guys have any ideas.

Our group (there were actually about 28 people, but this was the OTF group). The dude on the right is a beast and KOMed our group. Riding a super old half carbon/half metal Allez with downtube shifters. Did I mention he's a beast?

My trusty steed. Notice the gearing haha.

Then went to see Deadmau5, Fatboy Slim, Feed Me, and Atrack at the Bill Grahm Auditorium here in SF.

Today I am flying to Japan for the second time in ~month, this time for two weeks. Last minute business trip - I leave in 3 hours, not packed and only just now booked my hotel.

Yay for hectic weekends!

LocoTracks 10-30-11 01:43 PM

Today I went out on a team ride and got dropped round mile 25 when the better riders decided they were going to battle each other in an uphill sprint. Those guys are stupid fast.

Got those on BT? I almost pulled the trigger but decided to wait for some Sidis. How are they?

Yup. First 15 miles were a little uncomfy. Started to feel real nice at the end. With a proper break in, I think they will be awesome.
Stupidly stiff.

Sounds like a sweet weekend!!

Today I'm still sick. Spending my 4 day weekend popping ibuprofen and alka-seltzer cold plus between large glasses of water and menthol drops. Feels bad man.
