Today I did 80 miles, including my first fixed metric century at the LA River Ride. It was not as difficult as I thought it would be.

Haha I had no idea you're into fish keeping. What fish do you keep? Coral?

Sweet. I have tossed around the idea of going 7 speed with my Deore thumby on my ssmtb to give rigid geared a try.

You don't need any wins to go from 5 to 4.

I think you need to have a certain number of races under your belt to cat up from 5 to 4.

Yeah, I know. Someone just told me to email them and see if I can get an early upgrade since I'm doing well and it will open up another day of racing.

Today I almost went down to another bike shop to ring their neck. Some kid got into a crash, busted up his rear wheel to the point spokes were quite loose and another bike shop said it was "SAFE TO RIDE", WTFatFlyingF*ahem*! What sort of moron would say a dented, rim with loose spokes is safe to ride for a while?

I did also enjoy some delicious french fries on a more positive note. Nothing like properly seasoned fries, the kind you don't need condiments for, yummo.

Probably going on a nice ride tomorrow because I has the day off.

I want to say I like sprints cause they are less painful but I've gotten first in both tempo races I've done and a fourth in the win n out this weekend but I had bad placement on that one and had to Sprint from last place.

Upgrade approved though.

Today I complimented a woman's bike (Specialized Allez) as she was locking up and as I was leaving on my own. She just stared at me like I was a crazy person. I should have just waved instead.
