Today I had another awesome ride on my new Soma Rush. It's about the closest I've ever been to FG nirvana. It's also awesome to be 65 and have a body that can make a bike like this do its thing. Getting old isn't bad if you're healthy and fit. :D

ahh. filled w/ the goodness of my wife's awesome turkey soup. perhaps having a cup of coffee and a hundred pushups for lunch was not the best idea. but, as i'm finding out in my sixth year in law enforcement, one phone call can set off a chain reaction that screws your whole day....
|
carne asada with rice and oranges and beer. it was good.
|
got a haircut. It was long overdue.
|
had a great ride with my wife on the fixed gear. My wife's a good bit slower than me but I've found having her on a road bike and me on my fixed gear makes us a lot more "even."
|
Today I:
watched a fork get threaded... Wow, that stuff is intense. Will post photos soon. |

Today the parts for the new wheelset for the mtb started to show up and went out for the first ride on the Six13, capped off by a night time street session. Good times....
|
Today I put my Draft together. Took it on its test ride, and found that the cog/lock ring is loose. I don't have a lock ring tool. :|

In Morro Bay to ride for the weekend. My maiden voyage on my 2nd Vitus 979 but this time with SRAM Rival n junk
http://distilleryimage6.instagram.co...3813ffc0_7.jpg Today I: Our staging area at the avocado ranch we parked our trailer at. http://distilleryimage10.instagram.c...381b65e3_7.jpg Andouille, prawns, eggs, potatoes with hollandaise sauce. http://distilleryimage2.instagram.co...381b65e3_7.jpg About 15 miles away during a climb I broke the paddle off my rear shifter http://distilleryimage6.instagram.co...38142014_7.jpg |
Today I took a brief test ride in "track mode" (drops and no brake). I plan on doing any of my roller training this winter with drops so I'll be more comfortable with them for the summer when I start learning to ride on the track.
http://i.imgur.com/41xAI.jpg Still has way too much setback. I thought that a different riding position might make it better. Probably will find new drops too so I can use my longer stem as well. |

I'm right there with you.
|
When I'm in the saddle, the saddle feels too far back. When I'm out of the saddle, leaning forward (climbing or accelerating quickly) the bars feel too close. Maybe it's just because I'm used to riding long bullhorns.
|
Awesome lunch, easy day of work, awesome late-afternoon with a friend, awesome Vosge's chocolates, awesome day.
|
Hey Epic, watch this:
|
Volunteered at the pet shop and brought my junior bird wrangler with me...

|
