Yesterday my dad was in town and we spent some quality time together on a ~55mi ride up to the Old Croton Aqueduct. Weather was awesome, no cramps, no flats (I was on my road bike with 23s), epic fall foliage: https://instagram.com/p/f_rhb_y0ag/

Bah, thats nothing.

When you start getting freaky with your car, then you get your own bit on a tv show.

I ran over a scaffolding nail on the way home this evening. Luckily I was near a shop that gave me some scrap Velox to boot the rim and tire.




I'm going to keep riding it to see how long it lasts. I'm pissed because I rebuilt this wheel a few months ago after banging a flat spot into it.

Haha, toss it to the curb and make a bum happy! I just ordered some pants from Jack Threads and they came in a giant box too. Perhaps thats the new way of doing things.

Take my advice and don't do it, ex's are ex's for a reason.

My ex hit me up this Friday for my birthday and asked if I wanted birthday sex, we end up going out and getting drunk and she told me she now has no plans of sleeping with me. I guess that's why she had the nickname "Crazy".

Edit for bike stuff : Today I got down again on some rollers and wish I could get rid of my Leader and buy an actual bike.

I'm souped for my 2hr tempo ride tmrrw.


It will be mid/high 50's, rainy. I'm looking forward to the new sensations: bad weather gear, wet roads, low sunlight. It's going to be a sensory adventure!

I've only tried to do that once (it was ok for exactly 2 weeks before it got terrible again) and it really takes both people having exactly the same intentions (eg: none) to make it work. I very much doubt that's the case.

yeah the only thing appealing is that its basically guaranteed
after talking it would appear that she (the one who called it off) is a lot more distressed about this whole thing then i am and to be honest im not interested in getting sucked back into anything with her. and im almost positive thats what shes trying to do

im having a good time being single and the idea of multiple prospects is exciting
bffs sister scenario is a green light, apparently he told her to marry me once before

So a while ago(two months maybe) I noticed there was what appeared to be a bubble in my Soma Everwear tire but just kind of shrugged it off, today I looked at my tire and saw this.
