Semi-assembled.

Today I get to order my road bike. Been researching/waiting/saving for almost two months now, beyond stoked.

Today a friend showed me this website.

That seriously made my day.

Today I learned that an awesome lady in town for CMWC who's staying with my friend got her messenger bag with all her cash, laptop, and passport stolen from a bar last night. :( :( :(

hahahahaha!

Click on the shopping cart (with nothing in it).

So awesome!!!

For some reason shopping cart cat reminds me of this:

damn that sucks hard

Yeah, and she's Canadian so has to deal with the consulate to get a temporary passport so she can get home in a couple days.

Ugghhh, that's a bummer, I despise thieves.

Today (or tomorrow), I'm buying parts to build the schwinn up for the gf.

Today was the first day in almost two weeks I had a chance to ride, so I did 52 miles. Sanity levels stabilized once more.
Also
The other day while driving home from work I saw a guy have a zero MPH bike crash. looked like he was new to clipless.

I also know that feel bro. Whenever I try to tarkstand like a brave man without clipping out, I fall over. If I unclip one foot, my balance is perfect.

It used to take the old guy 1 1/2 hours? Woof.

Today I had an informal interview at Thomas Jefferson University with the higher ups for the graduate program, and I totally impressed them with my sciencing skills. They totally want me to go there... #win

today i put in 64 miles, my longest ride so far, went to piermont & back, really not as intense as i was expecting. next time more food and water though, couldve gone farther

before i got over the GWB i got doored by some woman getting out of a taxi, luckily i was only going about 7 mph and i fell between two parked cars so even though my biggest fear was realized, wasnt the worst thing in the world

gonna have a nice bruise though. the line on my collarbone is where i hit the doorframe, thats the only spot that hurts. thankfully nothing broken or dead.

i also saw a guy that looked exactly like sheldon brown on the west side greenway, it was awesome

i may have hit 48.5 mph today (strava) on a long descending hill. im sure i exceeded 40, was kinda scary

Seriously woof!

You Performance guys must get paid hourly.

Had my first bike-to-bike crash. Some lady on the bike path wasn't looking where she was going and veered left (into me). I yelled, then we crashed, then I yelled some more. No one got hurt, luckily. I got a flat, she got a taco. *win*

jeez what is this accident day? glad noone got hurt there, and you were able to ride away

Is it a full moon?

actually, it is. hah

Today I got in a good street session. I think it was a mix between trying a different set of tires and being a bit rusty that made me feel down on it.

I mean, I've never timed myself, but I build quite a few a day on top of repairs and sales floor BS, and it wouldn't take me that long if I tried - not tooting my own horn.

Also, Today I: got my kool stop tire jack. Dude. Scrod. Thank you. That thing is ****ing awesome. Also found out the 810 doesn't have enough links for my road bike. I mean, who reads product descriptions anyway?! Le derp on my part. Oh well

No prob! I honestly don't think I could live without it at this point.

Damn, dude...if I knew it was for your road bike I would have talked you out of it. I'm 99% certain the 810 is still too wide for use with a derailleur.

No worries! Right now my track bike (if I remember correctly) is all 3/32" and my Izumi Eco is a buzz saw at speed. I'll probably just throw it on there! And yeah, I figured, but thought I might be able to get away with the wider chain because it's an old 6-speed 105. Thanks again for being rad. Pretty rare on the interwebs these days.

I spent like 3 weeks debating if I was gonna go pedals/clips/straps or clipless. I ended up going clipless and today i went riding with the new clipless setup. let's just say I'm never going back.

that's why everyone needs two bikes at least! I wouldn't do a long ride again without clipless, but if I want to hit up the store or a bar I really don't want to put on my specific shoes or swap pedals
