Today some punk decided to challenge me to a best of 3 in a pumptrack pursuit, which I schooled him in the first 2. Later did some Pumptrack TT stuff(3 laps) and managed to set a personal best for time of 29.8 seconds, previous was 30.4 seconds.

worked on the Ridley Crossbow singlespeed CX build.
BB/cranks installed. running a 44t ring (16t in back) on the inside of a double w/ a Salsa Crossing Guard on the outside. was overly optimistic. only about 1-2mm clearance on the stays. probably have to swap it......won't know until that first ride.......but i've got a 39t for back up (or in case i can't pull the hills on my usual trails)......

The small ring in the photos I posted just barely clears the chainstay. no issues while riding and climbing

Kaz and some friends and I had talked about getting GoPros and making sick edits months ago. Not sure what happened to that idea...
Today I managed to get out of work early, so I only worked fourteen hours instead of the sixteen I was scheduled. Yay!

Went on a 24km ride on my folder... down into the valley, around the park, and then up and out and home.
Was a great ride... caught some roadies in the park and stunned them when I pulled up alongside to say `good day`and inspired them to pick up their pace and leave me behind which was good as we were rolling along at nearly 25mph when they punched it and took off.

Today on my ride to work i saw what must have been a HS kid get caught cutting school by his mom, the mom runs a light and makes an illegal uturn to yell at the kid while blocking 2 lanes of traffic. The kid then threw the bike he was riding ten feet into a light pole and runs off
I also shaved 3 mins off my commute, these 6 pound wheels build strong legs

Today I am enduring my last day of work before vacation. Turns out I will get off at three, so it's only a six-hour day. That's half of what I normally work. Amazing. Any Chicagoans doing CM tomorrow night? I may just go for once

Today, the bike gods are not with me. Can't find my crank puller, and I can't get my headset to square off. So, I'm headed to a bike shop to get a headset installed, and my cranks removed.
meeeeh. so, i pretty much spend 30 mins taking apart the bike, and have it down to frame, cranks, and BB. where the **** did I put it? its annoying... I've spend the rest of the morning polishing. Oh, mounted the GP4000S's. Most compliant conti' folder ever. Did it without a lever.
now I gotta wait till 11:30 for the shop to open.

with that deal I'd just go for it! all city cranks are nice, the dimension seatpost and stem are decent, the all city saddle is pretty comfy, and i'm sure the wheels will be at least alright!
