Today I got a package in the mail from Chris King. A couple weeks back I sent in my headset for service, and when I opened the package today I was surprised with a brand new headset (including race, top cap, etc) and $0.00 on the invoice... awesome!

Still kicking.
Today my back is feeling better, but still put in a street session. Tomorrow I start doing road rides again.

It took me 16 years, but today I finally won on a game of freecell.

Ordered a power drill and bit set (for my wife) and a Park torque wrench.
Also put together a list of options for bike parts for a Leader 722. Looks like I can get most of them from RG.
Went for a short 5 miler. Watched UFC 141 while drinking some Amstel Light and Pacifico.
Wife came home with a bunch of free food from work, YES.

Today I:
Finished building up the Stop Cycles E.t.A . However, I don't really know the fine tuning of canti's... So Imma have to leave it to the LBS to save the day. Though, I won't be able to get there till Sunday/Monday. Hopefully the weather is nice enough that I can snap some photos.

Today, I ate way too much Indian food for lunch, and my stomach now hates me. After that, I put 30-35 miles on with my new padded shorts. First pair I ever bought and they're possibly the best invention ever. That milage included a bunch of errands, Critical Mass, and some riding that I probably was too tipsy for. Drank some good beer, ate some tater-tot poutine, hung with some rad people. It was a good night.
During the tipsy riding, I hopped on Misskaz's 43cm Fuji Track Classic and rode around, busting mad skidz. I'll remind you that I'm 6'4", and I was riding a bike that belongs to someone who's 5'1". I wish we had gotten pics. I did get a pic of something though...
That would be the one and only Misskaz with a fiber-optic lamp attached to her helmet.
Yeah, it was a good day.

Am going on my longest ride of the year since recovering from hernia surgery. The weather is beautiful, topping out around 70 degrees with winds under 10 mph and clear sunny skies. I've strapped on a second water bottle, so as to minimize stops. Nothing epic, no camera crew or support car, no record attempt, just enjoying my bike, my health and the beautiful countryside. 
Happy New Year - TT

Today I rode my bike for the first time in two weeks. I missed it 
, being home without my bikes was depressing.

Today,
my dad gave me his old cycling shoes (great condition, they are just too small for him) along with both his Look Racing pedals and Speed Play's (including the mounts). Time to have some fun!

Rode a few miles to the Sprinter Coast Highway station, took the train to the end of the line and rode back.
The rail trails they are building around San Diego are nice but they don't ****ing go all the way so you have to do some fun trekking through traffic with bad drivers.
~25mi not too bad

I rode around on the speed play's for a few miles. To tell you the truth, I don't know how much I like them. There is a lot of float that I am not used to. But, on the other hand, they were extremely easy to get in and out of. For my first time running clipless EVER, I think i was an overall win, but very different.

Today I rode about 20 miles on my new Sram Omniums, boy what a difference a good stiff crank makes.

Fresh Garbage
sat on the idea of starting a CL bike repair gig out of my garage. It makes me feel real bummy but my dad will help me with getting some tools, so at least I get tools.
edit. My dad is cool.

I think it's because I spent my first year on clipless riding Look classic (Delta) pedals.
