It's also to figure out whether you're capable of following instruction.

Well if you can't follow instructions I don't imagine you'd be able to take an exam properly.

Just another part of paying your dues as a student.

While driving to my night class, I got semi-cut off by some jackass driver who thought it was necessary to reach 50mph on a 35mph lane with a woman and child in the car. He was swerving between me and a tow truck like the hounds of hell were after him, just to make a left turn signal that he would have easily made if he had just stayed behind me. Of course, that 2 second difference was reason enough to jeopardize three cars and their passengers, and what a great example to set for the kid. I hate driving.

I've really come to look forward to the days when I bike to work. Really addictive.

Today I:
 
Yesterday I bought a 600 Ultegra RD at the co-op but it was missing the second cage plate. Today I found the matching plate while digging through one of the unorganized bins of crap. Score!

To keep to SSFG, I have been zipping around lately since getting my Fuji to 12speed, so today I decided to see how well I could keep up with some of the many FG riders I regularly see on my commute route. Lots I wizzed by while others wouldn't stand being passed by some dude with fat tires and a pannier :) it was also windy as **** today, feels like Fall!

seems like my sram apex calipers aren't long enough on my big block to work ;_; wants to hit right on the tire no matter how I adjust it. I swear I saw a set on the old models. The front isn't even close though

glad I tried to install them today instead of the day before I needed them.

edit: seems like the big block completes come with long reach calipers, guess I'm not ********

Training.Wheels 10-25-12 03:23 AM

After fighting the urge to buy either a Cinella Mash frameset or a Look frameset, I decided it was best for me to get a road bike for longer rides. I was going to test ride a Specialized Allez Compact at another local shop after stopping at my LBS to replace a dropout chain tensioner that fell off my bike, but all that changed when I started looking at the Bianchi road bikes at my LBS. I fell in love with one, aand... let's just say I had to add another one to my signature. :p

Got new cables and cutters for my Saeco today but I was in such a hurry to finish it I cut the front brake cable and housing too short.... ****. Then I realized the wheels are out of true from when I got hit on the trek.... Double ****. TOO MANY SETBACKS!!!!

Today after waiting 7 months for my turn in line, I asked Stanridge for my money back. If he declines, then I'll proceed with the build. I'll share the story once everything is square

and, decided i'll wear my PI Attack shorts proudly tomorrow, with no outer covering. screw you dysmorphia. :)

found out i have to drive to work on Monday because of training in another town for part of the day. 4th time since March. blows.

BigglyPuff 10-25-12 07:18 PM

Worked. Had a paid meeting after work and a short unpaid meeting with the big boss afterwards. Having a cool boss makes all the difference in the world, I'd take a bullet for mine.

Then I biked home and spun the ef out on some downward slopes. People probably thought "Damn, he's going fast" just based on looking at my legs spinning. I feel like I'm "coasting" on a fixed gear sometimes, when it's slightly downhill the damn things practically ride themselves.

I just threw all of my cycling clothes in some water/baking soda/vinegar. My shorts and knickers smell pretty funky after rides.

Time to work at home now.

Today I toyed around on the dmr.

thewilson 10-25-12 07:27 PM

Today I went out with the intention of doing a century and got a flat 81.5 miles in. The sun had set and I wasn't prepared for night riding so I had to called the sqrl for a ride.
