Today I:
Someone mentioned that now that Surly has come out with the Moonlander, which sports 5 inch wide tyre, that there might be a few more Pugs on the secondary market.
Strangely enough, this bike was listed for sale here for over a month and no-one snapped it up and the price was one that I could not walk away from and am happy I pulled trigger on a bike I have wanted for a very long time but I was not prepared to spend +2k on a new one. Depending on how they are kitted out the price could approach 3k.

Today I taught myself how to adjust disc brakes. Also kicked myself for not teaching myself how to earlier. That **** seems pretty easy.
Heading downtown in an hour to hang with sqrl and frandz, get some sushi for dinner and maybe drink some wine on a roof. First day of work tomorrow morning.

Today I:
Woke up early so I worked on my Trek 520 re-build, got this far

Now waiting on brake levers, maybe next weekend.
Rode over Warm Springs Mountain to the falls and back, then changed bikes and cruised around for a while (I'm claiming it was just to break the "roller glaze" on the tires
)

Laced both wheels for my 930 build, will tension and true later as I am done for today.

Yesterday I, helped build Jandro's desktop. Been playing Diablo 3 ever since. Also got my 8 year old desktop running. It actually can play the game... barely.
Today I was going to go for a ride, but played Diablo 3 instead. :|

Today I:
DNF'd at the NCC Gravel Metric.
The temperatures spiked to 105-110F over the pavement today, and I didn't manage my calories/hydration/electrolytes properly. So I ran out of juice about halfway through and started puking at the 49-mile mark (actually 57 miles for me, since I missed a turn and racked up some bonus miles.) At least I got a couple decent pictures:
Assembling before the start. There were a couple of single-speeders and maybe one other FG bike.

My bike, waiting to ride E Gurler "road".

Similar, at Elva Road:
