I swear to Merckx I'll start banning people if you bring that BB30 crap in here, haha.

Besides this is ss/fg, we don't have to worry about BB30! So there.

Today I'm working from our office in San Francisco. I want to work here SO BADLY. 10 min commute by bike, nice office, and I'm working with a really awesome team here for a day.

Muffin Man 09-20-13 03:26 PM

Sorry haha

Today, I'm looking for clubs/teams to join in the area, as well as better routes, but I'm drawing blanks.

Are they split days, at least (one and two)? I had a job where I had three days off in a row and I would get back to the kitchen and not know where the hell I was. Switched days off with one of the cooks after about a month.

seau grateau 09-20-13 04:59 PM

Yeah I get Friday, Saturday and Monday. I thought it sounded really awesome but it's not really working for me.

You a cook? My issue with that sched is you miss the two busiest days, thus cutting (from my experience) a good 5 or 6 hours off an already short schedule.

seau grateau 09-20-13 05:23 PM

Nope, broke out of the service industry a couple years ago. I do closed captioning for TV broadcasts now and it's still full-time so I'm working 10 hour shifts on the days I do work. Not nearly as demanding physically, but it's a mental burnout.

Today I laugh at guys riding in traffic on tri bikes wearing camelbaks.

Today I got kicked out of a sw8 fixay facebook group for trolling too much.

I don't troll that much. Right guys?

Dannihilator 09-20-13 08:49 PM

Today I rode on the dirt. Still no desire to be on a road bike yet though...

Started riding in early august, and my previous longest loop was 34.3 miles, so I was happy with that. Working towards my first century!

Good feeling isn't it, extending yourself and finding you enjoyed it. Seeing you only just started riding, beware of extending yourself too quickly but going for a ride and 'getting lost' is an honourable tradition. Go for it my boy :)

TMonk 09-20-13 10:38 PM

i have like an intricate knowledge of every residential street in the areas near work and every place Ive ever lived

on short, easy days i like to stay in town and just explore everything

That's awesome haha

Mumonkan 09-21-13 01:34 PM

today i rode the old croton aqueduct trails and it was generally sweet, riding in the woods is always a good time

except for the fact that the inner part of my brake cable started to pull into the lever body rendering my brake useless right before the fun part of the ride

with said brake no longer functioning my chain dropped on a huge 30 mph hill and i had to tedshred through my fender making a huge disgusting hole in it and ****ing up the mounting clip

and then the granny gear starts slipping

also i can no longer use my phone for a full century post ios7 [MENTION=333534]SpeshulEd[/MENTION]

Mine has been very weird, one day I get great battery life, the next day it sucks. I'm sure there'll be a 7.1 update shortly. It seems like they always need to fix battery issues with each update.

ya this morning it ate thru really fast then halfway through the ride it started to go slower but still faster than 6 was. if it had been going the same speed as the second half of the ride it wouldve probably made it

hopefully theres an update and it gets better, though i had a similar problem when i updated my 3gs to ios5 and it just ruined the battery life so i hope that doesnt happen again

Nagrom_ 09-21-13 02:43 PM

Whenever there's an android update, my battery life gets better.

Leukybear 09-21-13 02:49 PM

Today I beat the rain at the end of my ride. Take that mother nature!

Is it because the update made your experience with your phone worse and you're using it less? :p

Just mowed the new lawn for the first time. I think it's time to move again.

spRICE 09-21-13 03:37 PM

I can do a 50mi strava ride with my android, then use it for the next two days without charging :D

thewilson 09-21-13 05:49 PM

Today I was out riding, headed towards this road I like to sprint and I'm currently 2nd on. This car starts driving really slow beside me seriously 10secs before the segment start, so I look over and this dude throws up two fingers and says "2nd place?!" I laugh and nod. That's when I realized he was the current KOM. It was hilarious and just what I needed to give me some extra gas to steal his crown.
