I should do that too, if there's money.

Today I rode around on touring rig mostly loaded. Blue bag on back will just about double in length when more food is added. I'm toting backpack also cuz I'm a glutton for punishment.

why not just add panniers to your rear rack?

I just might if I can score some cheap ones by noonish tomorrow. I'll still have my backpack but panniers would make it lighter, though. Got a couple 2 liter hydration bladders in the pack, at least one will stay in there at all times.

I should renew mine too. Way too convenient not to have.

when i went to school growers would cover the cost and then pay YOU an 1/8th or some cash for caretaker growing rights

I got one on the way to school a while back. San Jose is PACKED with dispensaries.

And now I know why Nagrom loves mcdonalds so much.

its not true!

Today I rode my fIxiE to meetup with Jaytron and another friend to eat at "off the grid", a weekly meeting place of various food trucks.

I shot a video of a bromantic french fry offering. There was live swanky music. Dude singing sounded a bit like Gil Scott Heron.

I'm softmodding like 4 wii's right now.... nand backups take fo ev ah...

Today,

Went for a 35 mile ride. Destroyed my time from downtown to this little lake I like to ride to ~10 miles. Just a sprint I like to do while out on my ride. Was flying. feels good man!

I just tried explaining velodrome racing to a coworker. He said it was NASCAR for hipsters.

ok, tell him it predates Nascar by like 80 years and stock car racing by about 50 years. I guess that's more hipster

Yesterday I got a flat, so today I...

-patched the tube
-mounted my current tires (Paselas) on my old rims
-snapped both of my tire levers trying to mount Vittoria Randos on my Wabi wheels (still not mounted)
-realized I need a spare cog/lockring and some metal levers, maybe that Kool Stop tire bead jack
-removed/covered all the ugly branding on my Moto Messenger, and have yet to decide if I made it uglier

ok, from someone that grew up between Trout Creek and Chipmunk Hollow (not even kidding) and was wandering fields with their own rifle at 9 years old shooting woodchucks, NASCAR is for sellouts that aren't willing to 'keep it real' and race on dirt.

Picked this up to replace my Madone.







Excited to build it up.

Chris

oh nice! Look forward to that build. What are you putting on it?

Insanely lucky you are. How much did it run you?

Today I felt like running.

Today I got in a quick road ride in before cutting grass, then went to put in a street ride and was getting pestered by a click/creaking sound. Wound up being a broken fixing nut on the axle on the rear wheel. Went for sushi, then got home and addressed it.

today did a social ride, was around 18m with a stop for booze. they went on a little further, but it was just another bar and my buddies were peeling off. I just wanted to keep riding, wish they'd stop worrying about the stops because its a good group of people to ride with and most of them only come out twice a week.

today, jdg and i troll'd all the bieks:



real life irl troll lives behind the head of stone troll, no jk.

My 722 is here

also today my cadence sensor came in. the part that goes on my crank arm rubs the chainstay by less than a mm, but it's just enough to make me return it :/ feels bad man

Yea, placement is kinda wonky on that thing. I can't get it to read both cadence and speed cuz my chainstay is funky shaped.
