Here's a far away, looks "almost new" shot before my test ride. I really need to get that stem sorted out. It's definitely too high.

Next time you let your bike get that bad, I'm stealing it from you and slapping you in the face.

today I am thinking of colorways for my frame. I think I want to do some sort of iconic color scheme that would relate to something. I just wish I was a x men or star wars nerd, would be a lot easier

Today I placed third in a Strava segment I created. 2mph separates first from tenth. I am pretty stoked though, because in every segment I've placed I'm the only dude not rocking multiple gears.

Dude, that's an awesome prize pool. GOOD LUCK and be safe out there. Road races are the nuts.

Today I'm finally done with zone 2 week, and I'm starting a real training plan. Finally get to do some real riding.

Yup. I definitely need a new chain.

Bought the bike in November, haven't replaced it since. Honestly if I had just taken better, more regular care of everything, the wear wouldn't be so bad.

Today I'm uploading my vacation pics. Thought you guys would like this one. (Amsterdam, that's me on a very-much-not-fixie rental bike -- it's got a three-speed IGH.)

Sounds like a perfect day...

My list also includes volunteering at the bike co-op today... we just opened a new location on the north side which is 5 minutes from my house so my first ride of the day won't be long.

Supposed to be nice later this afternoon so a little ride is also in order.

Already have my coffee and am enjoying it from the confines of my man cave.

today I am riding out to the velodrome (about 27 miles from my place, but not exactly a convenient way there) to watch a guy ride around it for 24 hours for Histiocytosis
