Today I was supposed to leave work at 2 to go go-karting with all my coworkers, but the kart track had no power due to yesterday's freak storm. Stupid storm.

Oxycontin is not meant to treat allergies.

What were they?

Dura-Ace FC7600. Nothing crazy but it's hand polished like a muthafu... I'll take a pic of it next time I stop by

I'm not interested in going unless I'm competitive, which I wouldn't be. Some guys like to just show up and ride, but that's not acceptable with me. I wish you the best and say hi to Fran and Bill for me.

Thanks, man. And will do. I'll see you next year.

Today I bought a Bianchi for $50

I'm going to fix it up as a replacement for my sister's old mtb that got stolen.

How 'bout that neon pink bottle cage, ladies?

Today I am taking delivery of my '85 Pro Miyata frameset. Hooray!

Today I did 45 miles from Jersey through Manhattan and back. I stopped at the Staten Island Ferry and was approached by a couple from Denmark. The guy saw my bike and asked me about where to find fixed gear specific shops in the city. We chatted for about 10-15 minutes about what else to look at besides bikes then i was on my way. On the way home i was caught in a crazy rain storm on the GWB and was soaked all the way home. Good times!

Bro lives in NYC. I've more or less walked across most of Manhattan in the 3 times I've been there, but I would like to bring my bike sometime to further explore the city and its surroundings.

do it, I can't imagine travelling without my bike. Not having my bike in a new city would be like having sex with a blindfold on. "yeah cool..I'm here...but whats here? It feels hairy...is this a guy? Man...last time I wear a blindfold."

yeah man its great. i usually only ride the west side but today i wanted to try the bike path on the east side, and man was it crappy! some parts were ok but you'll be riding then all of a sudden you will hit a dead end! then i had to turn around, get on the streets (York Ave. is the worst!) and figure out how to get back on the path. after a while i gave up and headed crosstown to get back on the greenway.

oh i forgot to add, at mile 44 a squirrel decided to jump under my front wheel! i didnt wreck and when i looked back he ran back up a tree! crazy!

I used Rolite Aluminum polish. The trick is to get it as smooth as possible. I started off with 180 grit, then, 240,400,600.... all the way to 2500grit. You can't half ass or it'll show on the finished product. I wasted a lot of polish this way

First spoke card of the evening.

One more to come, lets hope my constitution doesn't fail me now. These are going to be printed and sold for fundraising for the victims of the accident.

learned that ANOTHER of my friends is in the ER after an accident on his bike. waiting on a text to find out which hospital...

Sherblock 06-23-11 10:16 PM

Was it car related? Seems like I'm hearing about them more and more now :(

Best wishes to your friend for a quick recovery!
