Today I:

Your cog is slipping.
Today was an amazingly beautiful day and I literally couldn't ride because allergies were kicking my ass so hard, it felt like my chest was caving in and my face was about to explode.

Your cog is slipping.
We just got in some Nitto M176 bars and I may put a set on my Bare Knuckle. I've ridden with Noodles so I'll let you know how they compare.

Today, I went on my first notable ride with my clipless setup and loved it. Except for the time where I was going fairly fast on a flat section, and accidentally unclipped my right foot. :|

Went through this same issue when I moved form southern CA to the north. I was not used to the springtime here... Horrible. Good thing my body seems to have gotten used to it 7 years later.

Found this and want to buy one so bad. I never top out over 20 MPH with my daughter in the trailer, but I'd love to race with a solid trailer built to withstand the abuse.

Sat inside. Cold day, raining like crazy, blowing wind knocking stuff over...
So, I converted 2626 still images that I took on a nice spring day with my gopro into a time-lapse movie.

This morning I got a flat in the middle of our race, with less than 8 miles left to go. Around 60-70 showed up, and I was, at the time 4th overall and 2nd fixed. Still, I would've DQd myself for getting lost with another racer which shaved off some of the route. All in all, a great event and we're all psyched for next year. I would love to see some midwesterners on here there for the next one.
Then I did the Tour de Donut. With a brakeless bmx.

Think I need to try to do a whole ride as close to 60 rpm as possible... so it looks like I am not pedaling at all.

Today I locked my bikes to my computer desk in my own goddamn house. I'm paranoid the thieves will try again since they didn't get anything the first time.

Heh, I was going to mount it on the seat rail, but thought that the under top-tube mount would capture cooler video, I really like how it turned out. Can't wait for nice weather, upper 30's gusting to 50mpg and downpour is where I draw the line... Have bunch of ideas for some more little time-lapse videos. Want to get some offroad footage on the cx bike and some sailing (racing) out on Lake Superior.

That Lenovo looks nice.
I'm currently using a Macbook Air 11... Love it! Got it for $998 out the door. It's my primary laptop. Great for biking around with.

MBA's are ****ing awesome. I got the 13". 4GB of ram and this thing smokes any other computer I've ever had, even with similar or better specs.

Today I was on the edge of walking out with a pedal wrench in hand to defend my co-worker from a customer. The man became upset, threatening, and almost physical as he tried to get my co-worker to step outside. All this fuss over an agreed upon $5 late fee that he "was not told about"

Today this stripped when I was putting my drops back on, not the screw, but where it mounts. It gave me ZERO resistance when putting it back in ( that's what she said ). I don't even know how I managed to pull this off.
