Finally gave in and ordered a pair of 505 commuter pants.

Today I had a mini heart attack cause I spent about 5 seconds trying to throw my sram levers like shimano.
I thought it was broke. |

I have a funny (graphic) story about a Benihana (not the trick)...my friend had eaten some bad bbq for lunch and was supposed to be going out for date night with his girl and some friends. They had just sat down at Benihana and the chef turned on the grill when he started feeling sick. He went to outside to get some air and thought he felt better. Came back in while the chef was cooking and the sickness came back. He then vom'd all over the grill. Needless to say he rushed to the bathroom with explosive food poisoning sickness. After about 30 minutes of expunging everything in his body, he came out to find the entire restaurant cleared out and only his friends there. Apparently, grilled puke wasn't that appetizing. Everyone also thought that the Benihana food was what made him sick, so the manager was freaking out.
I can't even imagine the horror, but its a funny story looking back on it now.

25 road miles. 5 krampus miles.
4 beers. One footlong grilled cheese. Was a good day. |
Today I went to a bike shop filled with bike porn, bmc's, mavic io's, and only paid 15$ for a headset pressed
|
This morning I completed (another) dreadful set of 2x20 min intervals in Fiesta Island, possibly the last time I do these with heart rate, as my powertap wheelbuild will be done this week.
|
power intervals are better than heart rate intervals?
|
Heart rate drifts and is subject to many factors (sleep, enthusiasm level, coffee, time into ride, fatigue level, blah blah blah).
Power is contingent only upon how hard you pedal. Of course power output will be effected by the aforementioned things, but the measurement itself is inherently more quantitative with very low error, provided it's calibrated properly. |
Also heart rate numbers in a fit athlete remain stagnant where power is always changing.
For example, I may choose to complete a typical "tempo" ride (something I do all year round) with 170 bpm average over 2hrs. In late fall when I am just starting to train for the following year, when I have been lazy for a couple months, I may only be able to produce 220 watts over said ride at 170bpm. In the middle of the summer, when I'm hauling ass, I can probably hit over 250watts. That power differential (30 watts) is huge when 10watts may be all it takes for your to be able to hang on in a race situation, or get dropped. /end nerd rant |
Today I watched a lady try to parallel park on the street outside the shop for a good 10 minutes before she gave up and drove away. She must have driven up onto the curb (going forward and in reverse) 40 times. The funniest thing was how there were literally no other cars within about 30 feet of hers. What a wacko.
|
Today when I got back from work I saw my sqrl acting a bit cheeky and then proceeded to find a HUGE durian taking up half a shelf in the fridge.
Out of all things multicultural, she acquired the taste for it from a coworker; I'm on the wall about it and near dry heave at least once on the first exposed whiff. Yet, I'm expected to wrangle the custardy insides out of the spiky hulk.

But then again 40 times is a bit excessive. |
Today I put in 24 miles.

When I was there unannounced, there were these temporary drainage pipes haphazardly spot secured with asphalt right next to the curbs, in the drainage area, which would've made it pretty easy to drive up the curb.

today my brain just imploded from reading that goddamn standover thread.

Seriously. Spring has officially sprung in BFSSFG.

I tried frozen durian once. It was already starting to melt by the time I got to it, and it was super slimy and unappetizing. I couldn't get past the texture to even taste the thing, but I really don't have any desire to try it again.

Update on the durian, I wrestled its innards from its cavities and did not bleed this time! :D

You came to the shop and didn't introduce yourself? That's some kook ****, right there.
Also you were occupied with other customers and their questions when I came in. Didn't seem like a good time for a proper introduction in the flesh. 'Just keeping you on your toes but who knows, the next person to roll up might be me. Subtle details; I will not mention or hint at anything about BF. :lol: For better or worse, what I was more surprised about the most is how different you carry yourself in person vs in here. All I can say is, I would gladly be a returning customer. |

You guys make it sound like you don't enjoy Scrod's internet presence. C'mon now!
|
any of you have an instagram account that I could follow ?
|
There used to be an instagram thread actually. I'm too lazy to search for it tho.

All I can say is, I would gladly be a returning customer. I feel I'm pretty much the same in person as I am on the internet. I enjoy tongue-in-cheek sarcasm and I'm usually always laughing. I'm knowledgeable and can be extremely helpful but won't hesitate telling someone when they're being a dummy or rubbing me the wrong way. I'm not sure if you saw it but the sticker on the front of the cash register pretty much sums up how it works. |
