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.

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

Thanks. No, nats are definitely out this year because of this, but next year will be fine. I haven't been training (weights, track, intervals etc.) at all since February and wouldn't be able to train hard right up to nats, which are just a month away. 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.

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 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."

it feels good man 
I miss it though
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.
