... discovered that I'm not man enough to ride actual trails with a 34x15. Later tonight XC knobbies come off and semi-slicks go on.

Scrod, your beard is glorious.
Today I:
Rode with the Rapha dudes to Pt. Reyes, CA. It was the longest, hardest, fastest ride I have ever done. Camera car, sprints, pacelines, 5,100+ feet of climbing, lots of pain, and THE sandwich. I'm going to go find somewhere soft and sleep for about 12 hours. I dunno how these dudes do this every day for a week straight.

Ugh...I literally messed with the angle every time we stopped today and couldn't find the sweet spot. No thanks.

AWWW! I've DREAMED of riding out there. I used to live in Santa Rosa and my thing was photography. I'd spend many of my weekends out there at Point Reyes and Tomales Bay doing my thing but I wasn't much into riding bikes back then. I'm so jealous of you. I'd love to go back and remind myself what I'm missing. I'm in Illinois now, and I really hate it here.

No, you should like what I like and thats final. End of discussion, now got to your room and think about what you've done.

I think my Flite needs to go, too.
I think I need a saddle with a cutout. The gooch is always in pain by mile 15. Not good.

Today, I decided...rather than use my new SRAM cranks on my beat up old Affinity.....I'm going to build up another bike.

Went to bed at 11pm, didn't fall asleep until 6am. Now it's not even 9:30am. Guh!!
It's weird because I usually pass out before my head hits the pillow... but I get one of these restless nights maybe once or twice a year.

I found a Sugino 75 BB lockring. It is now my new key chain ring. Sadly, there is no NJS stamp, that would have been icing on the cake.

I just put an old Campy shifter onto my keyring. It actually looks semi-decent!

Today I picked up a 200w Polk woofer to add to my room's surround sound. Returned item discount at best buy so I got it for $100 less than the 100w model 
I feel kind of sorry for the rooms that abut mine.
