Today I had an amazing ride home from work, I rode hard/fast and pushed myself. Plus it was a beautiful night with almost all the streets being empty.

Does no one here use rain gear? When I get to school in a downpour I'm not wet at all.

I don't, but that's because I haven't bought any yet. I plan to but don't care enough right now to do it.

Heading to bart this morning to go to school, a large group ride was getting off at San Leandro. Looked like a bunch of younger guys too. Younger meaning, not the usual group of dentists.

It is pretty rare that I do not carry my rain gear.

But dentists aren't supposed to ride their $5k+ bikes...

Today I'm going to ride 40 miles with my dog in her trailer (my man tows her, and I ride behind to keep an eye on her). She's done two 12 mile rides so far and she loves it, though she tends to get restless, so I'm going to take her on a long walk before the ride. Also she looks SO CUTE YOU GUYS! I'll post pics soon when I figure out how to work this new camera. Please, contain yourselves.

Exactly my point.

I have a rain coat and waterproof shoes, havent bought pants yet.

i wish my dog rode in our trailer :(

^
i'll show you a trailer...

Today I'm bummed because it's so beautiful out, and I'm sitting here in a blasted sling.

I'm praying to the bike gods that this thing isn't actually broken.

Well my mother's day plans are in place and ready to go. For you guys who forgot, it's this Sunday ;)


On a more dire note, somebody please convince me not to pay retail for a campy record pista crankset.

Don't pay retail for a campy record pista crankset.

Today I got into another argument with the secretary of our coop. I've been really sick lately, so my mind isn't even remotely rational when it comes to verbal/textual delivery. I feel like crap. I just meant to give pointers on cycle photography for our bikes for sale.

I want to ride my newish Trek 1400 I fixed a few weeks ago. It's a lovely bike but my connective tissues and back are getting worse and worse these days (Note: I'm only 23) making even <5 mile rides incredibly uncomfortable, especially with a bad mitral valve (heart). Add my current illness and I probably wouldn't be able to stay on the saddle for more than a couple minutes.
And this is ignoring my FG hanging in the basement. I miss that thing, too.

Um... I'm pretty damn sure I saw you on crutches.

Glasses, dark blue cast cover leg brace thing?

I wanted to stop and be like "hey nagrom, I remember your face from facebook," but I didn't, for fear of weirding someone out.

We were doing a group ride through the east bay dirt paths.

A chance meeting between bros. OPH. So bromantic.

Just wait, one will pop up on either craigslist or eBay and you will get a steal!

I've had 2 complete sets w/ carbon BB in exactly how I wanted, 165mm, 49T, shop worn/ slightly used, within grasp and I was the 2nd highest bidder for both. I'm about sick & tired of waiting.... they're never going to be cheap new or used with people willing to pay so much and it really doesn't help when you have the funds and you can't stop thinking about it. It's eating away at my soul, I will never be at peace until I have them. I want them but don't need them.

I don't like how this is going to end up. =/

:lol: That's some serious stuff, man.

I'll admit it's a problem of mine. Not proud.

I understand. I would probably be the same way if I ever actually had money. I just sell my possessions so I can immediately buy other stuff I've been lusting over. I never(ever) have the patience to just wait until the right deal comes along. I need everything I want and I need it as soon as possible.

The cast was black. Wasn't me. Just kidding haha.

But yeah, we made eye contact. Exact same reason for me not saying anything, haha.
