Today I...
...bought lipstick for my pig.
Yes, that's right. I bought drop bars for my budget bike. Fortunately that can always go on my next not-so-budget bike

I'm in love with both of my Brooks saddles (B-17 narrow and Team Pro). To me, Brooks makes a saddle. Most other companies make seats. There's a difference. I'm also quite fond of the Turbo, Kashimax Aero and Leader Cosmic.
I absolutely hated my San Marco Regal aside from how it looked. I also loathe the Fizik Arione and San Marco Ponza.

Your cog is slipping.
It got pretty bad for me. Ugh.

Well, one saddle doesn't necessarily work for everyone.
Today I got in 40 miles.

Today I head to San Diego for work, but they have me so flipping busy over the course of the next two days, I'm not even sure if I can sneak away to do some fun stuff.

That's a bummer, there's a good alleycat happening on Friday. If you do end up sneaking away, be sure to swing by the shop!

I think im gonna go for another rain ride. So much fun getting muddy. Those knobs are amazing. I've never ridden quality MTB stuff, this is great.

Should be hammering rain with 20mph winds on Friday/Sat FYI.
im still gonna ride
tmrrw I have 1hr at lunch on the MTB planned; should be fun to slop around in the mud like nag.
The 3hr road ride I had planned for Sat doesn't sound like much fun

2. Go-karts are way fun to drift. And if you have never drifted, closed course is a fun time to figure out how.

Today I really want to get a s-works stumpjumper after trolling the local S shop owner about a test ride with his most expensive MTB and to my shock, actually letting me test ride it.
First thing I did was jump off the curb with it (not being "that guy"; he encouraged me do it as part of his sales pitch); solid.
Perhaps a bait and hook? It'll take a whole lot for me to hand over my cash to big S nonetheless.
