Today I decided to get a lot more serious about cycling. Made a workout plan to start doing. Not on a bike as much as I'd like due to my schedule, but It'll do. Its looking like no less than 50 miles a week, not counting track time. Weight room a couple times a week, and a lot of stretching.

Kind of excited; can't wait for the summer.

What about using a trainer? It's quick and dirty and does the job.

There is also the added benefit that you're on a bike you will actually be riding.

awww yeah. Treat her gently :thumb:

Today it was raining pretty hard and I got a flat tire. Talk about irritating.

also today I couldn't resist the monochrome grey chucks.

They will not be able to pay you a fraction of what you are worth...

Today I used chain lube to lube my hair clippers.

Seemed like a good idea.

Did it work out?

fixed

Today, my coworker brought some SIDI shoes in my size to try before I drop real money on clipless. Now I just need some cheap SPD pedals. Anybody have a set?

Actually, yeah! Better than the Andis clipper oil that I've been using.

I guess the key is to see how long it lasts or if it will break down with the heat of the clippers over time.

...realized that my B43's are not going to work out for my current build. swapping out for Alex DC19's for now.

and i just wanted to be one of the cool kids....

Where does one get a BFSSFG sticker, by chance?

Who else but our very own scrod?

On a brighter note; somebody actually turned in my helmet! Faith in humanity restored! :D

in other news, i just went to take the freewheel off the DC19 rear wheel.

don't have a freewheel tool, so i was going to go at it with a hammer/screwdriver.

wasn't even finger tight.

i'd never used the freewheel but now i remember that there wasn't one tight part on the whole bike when i brought it home from the LBS. grrr...

Just checked on my neighbour's cat... some waste of skin thought it would be fun to wrap an elastic band around her paw and think that she will be okay as her paw is swollen but warm and the next few hours will tell alot.

My neighbour is a retired doctor so she knows what to look for and loves this cat more than anything... it showed up one day and adopted her and is the sweetest thing.

People who do this kind of thing need to be beaten... repeatedly.

Passover has severely restricted my eating options... I've had In-n-out 2 times over the last 4 days, and in-between that matzah with butter on it. Yuck.

Yesterday we had a barcrawl! And $3 all you can eat tacos! And a pitcher party! And fish bowls! And wine night! And people spilling beer in other people's pockets!

I was actually gonna go home after the first bar, but then I realized if I went home I was going to fall asleep and not do any work anyways.

Today I discovered Dolan Bikes has a 0% interest payment plan...

uh oh...

^uh oh indeed...

Go get yourself a weight weenie Dolan Seta son!

I immediately regret reading this.

Haha BFSSFG Dolan group buy.

Seriously... I want one.

details my friend, details.

edit: i found it, now my heart says buy but my brain says buy... i mean it says resist. fkkkk

If you have to buy things on payment plans then you probably shouldn't be buying to begin with, 0% interest or not....

very cool, but I don't want to be on a damn payment plan for a bike.

True story. I'm not that great at keeping track of my money (used to be, then bikes happened) but if I don't have money for something I'm not buying it, end of discussion.

I picked up a grading position this semester so I could have some more bike/beer money. Then at the end of the semester I won't be like wteff happened to all my dollhairs.

Cleaned the bike this morning. Degreased, lubed, wonderful...

Went on a fun ride (~3.4k / 54miles):

Goodness... is that thing a complete?
