Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Anyways, I sure hope it's a long before it clogs again, since getting to it is a real pita and I could not fix it myself. The plumber actually had to construct an extension rig out of pvc pipe in order to insert the snake. It took him over an hour to get it done, whereas it would normally take less than half that time if the drain were more readily accessible. It was really nice that he stuck with his initial price estimate of $125.
Even though you spent $125.00 that you didn't want to, and it was unexpected, I bet it was almost "pleasant" compared to the alternative.

Man, that sucks. I'm constantly paranoid that my ring is going to fall off while riding

I stopped taking a ssri. I already feel more clear headed and have more energy to exercise. Hopefully will see more benefits later in the week, medications suck.

Day two of being flat on my back. Went to Physio yesterday and while that seemed to help I literally checked for bruises when I was in the shower. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day

^^ lady texted me after the race and said 25 cent beers at a strip club tonight but had to be there quick, ended up having to bike another 20 miles doing alleycat crap. Felt like a jackass blowing lights with race numbers on but it was for a good cause.
