Are you driving a hobo bus? If not look into the bolt bus, one way tickets to Seattle for twenty bucks and it's got bike storage.

Nope, not driving. Will definitely look into Bolt. Greyhound has some pretty cheap fares as well, and I'm probably splitting my tickets between cities since I want to spend a few days in each town. Also open to hostel recommendations if anyone knows.

That just depends on how serious one is about playing by the rules. ;)

today i really want to go on a bike ride but i'm stuck waiting for my deadbeat landlord to come fix the ****ing shower faucet. apparently the "ferry is down" so he's either speaking literally and a bunch of people died a watery grave death or he's just late and needs two full days to fix the plumbing. ****ing over this overpriced rental house.

OMG the burn. I feel bad for the guy. I mean it's not it's her job to kiss him or anything but man that's embarrassing.

just started watching premium rush lol

no brakes on the remote control

Apparently you get a half point if the opposing team misses a goal attempt. Most points wins and the winning team gets a cow. So there's that...

what is it show me\

Winner had a frontal chamois wedgie which ended up looking like a certain animal's toe in the picture which basically signifies the pinnacle of his/ anyone's professional cycling career.

found this, which is what hes talking about. but youre talking about like the final podium, right?

Yup the one in front of the arc de triumph where all the world's sports photographers are at.

Wisdom teeth out today. I think one of the blood clots fell out (when I pushed an ice pack to my face a small red jelly thing popped out) and now I'm scared of getting dry socket, which is supposedly super painful. On one side it's all stitched up, and on the other side it's just a hole :(

Just sucks a lot. I feel like I did everything right and still had it go wrong.

Well if you do, it'll help to have oragel handy.

today i installed 11 speed 105 on the straggler.
laced a hope pro 2 evo rear hub (they now come with an 11sp freehub body) to archetype rims (kept the surly front hub) dt comp spokes + black brass nips.
ultegra crank w/ 46/36 rings and an ultegra 11-32 cassette.
so sweet....lost about 3lbs.

Today I shellacked my drop bars.

Nice.

How "Rivendell" of you. I have always liked how shellacked cotton tape looks.

Today I received free beer from a local brewery. I make the brewer coffee, he gives me beer. Fair trade.

Yeah, I'm excited to try it out, pleased with how it looks.

This comment makes a lot more sense now that I have returned from ******.

I hope you have some cushiony gloves.

Today the old bike shop called to have me cover a few days a week so they don't fall apart. I don't really want to go back but pay is pay. The REI down the street better hire me.

I do, actually. I habitually ride with gloves but have also found I get less hand fatigue with the cloth tape as compared to cork because I tend to grip the cork tighter but can manage the bar with a lighter touch when wrapped in cloth. The gloves are primarily because if/when I bail I find that trying to type with my hands all rashed up really sucks.

I started refurbishing a pre-war bicycle. I just posted a thread in C&V asking if anyone could help identify it. Reproduction tires for the long obsolete 28 x 1-1/2 "single tube" tires are $150 a piece. Guess I'll cross that bridge when I am nearing completion.
