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

Got my GR-9s in and installed them. Wasn't long before I realized that my clipping in issue was definitely the old stock pedals. Now I need to try and bend the clips a bit to get them to not kill my big toe.

STV.....one day

easy, winds are the right direction at least :)

what are you doing this weekend? :P

Rode to work. Still can't get used to OTS without hoods (had a roadbike). I think it may be time to get some bullhorns.

Not riding with you to vancouver, since someone doesn't have a passport :innocent:

got my new tires. and ate lunch

oh. thats right, I'm doomed

Today I got yelled at by a six year old on a razor scooter riding down the middle of the street to get on the sidewalk.

what is this i don't even

Would love to hear your touring stories if you ever come up here. :)
