Today I:
 

With help from the Bikerowave I got a free ticket to the premier of Premium Rush. As CC700 already said, it wasn't that good. All the bike nerds had a good laugh though. This was only made better by the fact that I am was riding brakeless seriously for the first time today and that I walked into the theater looking like a total bike geek.

What did you think of Batman? I can't wait to go see Premium Rush.

My debut as an improv actor didn't go well. I mean, they want me to do it again, but I wasn't happy with my performance.

What's the general consensus about Lance around here? I don't think he did it, but I'm still bummed about him losing his titles and being banned from competing again.

I don't have an opinion about lance, aka I don't give a hoot, back when he was winning, everyone was on some form of PED.

theres one or two. very simple, static jokes. like the three plot lines. and characters.

"can't stop, don't want to." is pretty much all you need to take away, and they give it up in the preview so...

Drove the second leg of my trip home, went through southern BC and the crowsnest pass which has to be some of the prettiest country on earth. Met a touring cyclist and we had a great chat and i sent him off with a free map of his route as I had plenty to spare.

Scouted a bunch of good camping spots for when i go back in a few weeks, plan to spend an extra day driving as the body just does not like 500 miles a day behind the wheel.

today, i waterpark.

A time trial on a mountain bike? ;)

Scratch waterpark.

Apparently my barry white syndrome and coughing from work was actually a cold


Which my gf now has.


Now to do errands and debate what bike related purchase to make

sad/great

agree 100%
dont care.

also as far as i'm concerned/care everyone (at the protour level) is still on some form of PED.

cycling becomes more and more dirty the more elite the level. even your p/1/2 local crit monsters are taking PEDs, racing dirty, crashing ppls out etc.

pretty exciting stuff I know, thanks for the response -__-

Today I started shopping for vid cards. I've decided it's finally time to get an nVidia with a 3-digit number.

20 fps is getting to be a drag.

3x 690 or bust!

It just seems like yesterday that I was using a 8800 through... those were the good old days when nvidia didn't knock your card off the top overnight.

Today I finally finished looking at all the bikes in the "new FF/FS bikes thread" something like 380 pages.

had my fantasy football draft, looked over my team today, I am content.
QB's - Vick, Romo
WR's - Colston, A.J Green, Britt, Greg Little, Denarius Moore
RB's - Forte, Demarco Murray, Steven Jackson, Ben Tate, Stevan Ridley
TE - Jermaine Gresham
K - Feely
DEF - Green Bay

It is a 12 person flex league with 1/2 point ppr.
Next week I have my 10 person flex with standard scoring. FOOTBALL!!!!

building wheels tonight.

got home tonight after a week of driving from seattle to chicago-area, whilst stopping at crater lake and grand teton/yellowstone...

only to find that the pompino they shipped me is not NEON like i ordered. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu:

I think the black & red doesn't look too bad. If it was up to me I rather have the one you received. ;)

Slept until noon today... feel like I was beaten with baseball bats after two long days on the road.

Must be time for a bike ride here.

Today I went to get the road bike, but found out that it's not the correct size. Sucks, but oh well, the search continues.

What size you need?

53/54. It was a 56cm, which I just can't make it work.

Edit, was also nearly taken out twice today, first by a guy on a comfort bike salmoning up a climb and going the wrong way on the road. Second time by someone in a chevy impala who wasn't looking before making a left. Gave the comfort bike the benefit of the doubt, but gave the impala an insanely dirty look.

Today was a good day just tooling around town for hours. Having keys to the co-op is great, it's like a second home when I need to take a break and chill/nap/wrench and be all alone. I'm enjoying brakeless but I dont know how much longer I can keep it up.

Finished the rear wheel. Looks great.

Tomorrow I have to take the front black hoop, and get it to the same high polished finish.... should be fun <_______<

Thought about starting a tattoo thread, then I got scared. Too much potential for threadcrapping.

shiny.

building that wheel will seem like it took 5 seconds by comparison, hope you got a lot of grades of sandpaper and some polishing compound








and like ten years of free time

Oven cleaner + 200/300/400/600/800/1000/2000 grit sandpaper + brown/white cutting compound + buff wheel + an entire saturday = shiny ass rim.
