Lots of brewing and drinking of beer.....or at least that is what I would do. oh and pinball, lots

can you do other physical activities?

Walking more than a few blocks causing pain in my shoulder. So I can't run or jump, climb, basically anything that puts pressure on my right shoulder. I can't go in pools or rivers because of the surgical wound, I don't know how to swim regardless ha. What else is there to do, and cycling was the only enjoyable thing I would do.

luckily remembered that the wide-slatted wooden bridge on my commute ices up before -anything- else. got up to speed and then crossed it w/ no extra pressure on the pedals. whole thing was covered in a thin layer of sparkly ice.

took 33 seconds off my 500m swim time (9:04 to 8:31).

Eww. I hate the idea of rubbing some cream on my taint to ride my bike. I'm not a old man.

Today I am in the airport in Costa Rica headed home after about 4 months here. Pretty sad to go but I miss home. 23 hours of traveling today is going to be a lot of fun.

i does seem like a disgusting concept to me ill be honest, but sometimes it does get uncomfortable after a while

plus everyone seems to say it helps a lot so i figured ill give it shot.

I said the same thing for damn near a year. Before that I thought it was the dumbest thing in the world to have your seat level with your bars or higher, and that skinny tires and full size bikes were stoopit. And after going fixed, I said that gears were the dumbest things ever, and now I'm road bike shopping. Whoops.

Today I'm carrying the momentum from yesterday and trying to do as little as possible while taking as long as possible.

My achievement for the day might be that I managed to find a screenshot to make a new av with.

Looking at your strava profile, I can totally understand that mentality as you ride (or at least record) < 20mi/week.

Try riding for a couple hours at a time and you'll find out very quickly that a chamois and chamois cream are the best things ever invented for your taint/ass.

jdgesus 12-14-12 01:53 PM

i live in chamois cream

yummygooey 12-14-12 02:49 PM

the only time i ever used gooch cream was for a 200 mile ride.

it helps.

cools things down too.

zoltani 12-14-12 03:21 PM

Thanks for the link. Before my accident I had slowly started studying and practicing. Now is a good a time as ever to continue.
