Very nice!

Today I had my followup visit with the surgeon that repaired my double hernia and I'm now officially allowed to lift / strain more than 10 pounds. Celebrated by opening my garage door for the first time in six weeks and taking down some of my bikes off the ceiling hooks. Looking forward to putting my new Wabi Lightning through its paces. :D

Good for you, man!

I mean, sir. lol

the via condotti is pretty classy for a complete bike.

Today I have dinner plans that require not arriving covered in sweat and bike grease, so I did not ride to work.

That it is currently 97 degrees and may reach 100 (106 to 114 heat index) today makes me not all that disappointed about having to skip the bike commute.

Today I went out for my first long ride with my new brooks swallow on my roadie; major soreness but I feel there's some improvement. Or is that just the numbness? =/

I have to agree; over the bianchi pista moniker, I think it's gorgeous too for a casual bike. It's pretty obvious nonetheless how my wife who's very fashion conscious to pick it out of the numerous bikes we saw yesterday. The only negative I have to point out is how I absolutely LOATH the unicrown fork, makes me want to throw up considering how IMO it tarnishes the entire bike.

My wife doesn't seem to mind that and we plan to drop the deposit for her size later today.
She already has some modifications that she hopes to do gradually with it but as a attentive husband, you happen to know these things already and plan to make pick up day that much sweeter. Stock parts FTL. :)

~~~~Oh yeah, I totally forgot to mention to you guys that she wants to ride not SS but fixed. :love:

Today I am sitting in my office, absolutely pink with delight over the fact that I don't have to wake up at butt****'o clock to get to my classes.
Also silently laughing at myself over plowing into a parked car while focusing on my straps and ****ing up one of the flanges of my star nut.
OH, ME

today i killed 4 foot copper heads at work today, exciting times

****. Snakes.

Took a road trip down to Arizona last year and seriously ran afoul of like 3-4 rattlesnakes while hiking Bear Canyon. First one was sunning itself on an outcropping that ran along the trail at like, shoulder height. I heard the rattle right in my ear and it startled me, but seeing that mother****ing snake less than a foot from my face had me BOLTING.

I hate snakes.

my dad was bit by a snake when he was younger, apparently almost died. wont go near any sort of snake, no matter how well caged or how harmless it is.

bought a plain cycling cap, new gloves and proofide today. Biked the city pretty hard.. yep.

....ugh, pedestrians man, WHY?!

idk, come to tacoma.
there are like six pedestrians here

Today I rode 60+ miles. Goodnight SSFG. http://www.graphicsgrotto.com/emotic...msleeping5.gif

Today I drove a tractor.

:beer:

TONIGHT I - finally got my seatpost exactly where i want it
then was ambushed by one of the sales reps employed by my company
with a joint

took the long way home
delightful

EDIT: And came home to roast chicken, zucchini and onions, and a dance with dragons
what up life, how'd you get so great so quick?

Clipless?

Only 60?

rode through town with pedalingatx

good times.

Downtown ridin' yayuhhh

sounders game meant traffic like crazy on first, threaded hundreds of cars.

Put another sixish miles on the SS riding downtown. It feels so good to be active again!

Yessir.

It was 90+ degress.

made some minor adjustments. tighter chain, raised saddle/stem (had room to move a spacer below it, which was on top), wore cycling shorts for the first time ever and learned I still need to htfu (Deda CronoNero Lowrider still beating the **** out of my hand muscles).

I feel much more efficient pedaling with the raised saddle, I always felt I could use a bump up, but didn't bother because I'm a lazy sob and didn't want to raise the stem as well (seriously lazy I know) or ride that aggressively. Feels great, though somehow with the adjustment being probably 10mm on both ends, completely different. I almost felt like I was on a different bike. I love it but will take some getting used to. Also I felt like my cycling shorts were trying to turn me into a woman and that passing cars should've tipped me on the way. No idea how anyone wears those for rides under 20miles, felt like I was going to slide off my saddle too when I was wiping my forehead/handless.

also further reaffirmed that the soma frames have the most delicate paint job on the planet. barely started to slip off a walgreens trash can and made a nice 3" long rubble scratches that lightly nicked the paint (as if it had hit gravel after a crash). Had also previously scratched it from hanging it on my bike hangers and from when the wind knocked it over once while taking a picture (that also went through the cc). The thing does not take punishment very well and would explain how the first one shipped to me arrived with a gash on the headtube.

yesterday I dropped my leader fork off to get cut by a LBS. told them I wanted to add 30mm of spacers after the headset and woke up with the fear that they would cut the steerer tube at 30mm up instead of 30mm up+stem then cut. so now I'm just waiting for them to open so my anxiety will go away.

Those bars are tough. I have a serious love/hate relationship with mine.

If they're dumb enough to do that I will personally come drive a rental car through the front window of the shop.

god lol

did you see me? i was the guy on the red cannondale looking angry as ****

You should've seen me, I thought he was coming to Vancoober to ride with me but well oh well.

i need to come to vancooler to ride... got nothing better to do these days :D
