Went for a leisurely 20-miles before work. Pretty sure I ended up in the same bull**** construction area Kaz flatted in. It's too nice out for me to be at work.

He went over to his friends and I thought **** was going to pop off but he ended up coming back over, apologizing and buying me, Angie and our two friends each a beer and a shot. He ended up being a pretty funny guy so I taught him my secret "brethren" handshake and made him promise not to show too many people. I stared right into his eyes while squeezing his hand and said "I'm ****ing serious. Do not.", which seemed to really freak him out.

:lol: This is awesome.

Brought bikes to sqrls parents house, washed bikes, bike now clean. Feels good man.

Went for a ride and the humidity/heat was just killer. My stomach was hurting so I cut it short.

Leukybear 05-25-12 03:30 PM

I finally got my hands a pair of hozan lockring pliers. Busted knuckles no more. :lol:

Today I found a place that has my favorite orange cokes ice cold and super cheep. Fifty cent Orangina and 75 cent San Pellegrino. And the second cutest cashier on the planet.

Had to get orange crackers too.

Damn good combo.

I would have gone crackers with cheese.

xavier853 05-25-12 03:53 PM

I would have gone for the cashier.

anyone know if MKS Track (njs) chain tensioners fit a cinelli mash?

There's never really a reason to have a chain tensioner... save your money. Anyhow I believe the aluminum track ends of the MASH are too wide anyhow considering how the mks tensioners envelope the track end:

I want some like Leader's 722s that go on the inside of the dropout to stop these mfing sheriffs from slipping forward

Scrodzilla 05-25-12 04:06 PM

MKS makes them in two widths - one for steel frames and the other for thicker aluminum dropouts.

hamfoh 05-25-12 04:08 PM

hmm spend $40 on tensioner or build up a new wheel!

Scrodzilla 05-25-12 04:10 PM

I'm surprised your new Sheriff hub is slipping. That hardware is burly.

hamfoh 05-25-12 04:21 PM

it's been worse than my PW to be honest, but I do like the hardware more. was totally solid for the first few months and now two rides in the last 2 weeks it's tried to kill me. tightened it hard enough that I worried about the chainstays

DevinL 05-25-12 05:32 PM

This isn't very impressive, I know. But, coming from riding 2 miles and wanting to literally fall over and just lay in the grass 4 weeks ago. I'm vastly improving I think :)

8.3 miles total. Single Speed Madison.

+Like.

Today I had a fun time on the dmr, then went for an easy 20 miles on the 930.

misskaz 05-25-12 06:28 PM

Got home from handing out race flyers at the critical mass starting point to find my husband brewing beer. Which is great, 'cept that it makes the house sooooo hot and humid and we only have one window unit A/C for the 1st floor. I need to get that man a turkey fryer so he can do this **** outside. In the meantime, I'm gonna hang out on the back deck.

Also, being at the CM start made me want to ride with them soooo bad. Such a nice night, so there was a big crowd and it would have been super fun.

Then why didn't you go? FYI: I won't be able to make the after-party after all. Work.

Dannihilator 05-25-12 07:32 PM

Oh yeah forgot, blew by someone on an old clapped out mtb with adjustable stem that was wearing gym shorts and a replica TDF King of the mountains jersey, while climbing none the less....

I promised Mr. kaz I'd be home, plus it's a crazy weekend for me and I need my rest, plus I didn't know anyone else there...

LesterOfPuppets 05-25-12 07:45 PM

This afternoon was just stupid beautiful. Tried to go to the NE Pho Hung but it's now Pho Vinh. Not as good as Pho Hung but still good. Broth 8, Meat 9, Noodles 4. Overall score 7/10. But Salad Rolls were half price 3-6pm, $2.25 for a pair of 'em I shoulda just kept ordering them 'til I got full.

Time to go ride somewhere with good sunset vantage point.
