took almost 5 mother****ing hours. officially done with driving. nyc has killed the joys of driving for me and im looking at what kind of ****** ass bike i can get with money from selling my car. |
Today I; strava
Fell over at the 19mile mark, tried to go up on a curb and didn't angle it enough. Fell to the left, hurt my left hand, somehow my right bar plug broke, luckily I was going slow so it wasn't bad. Did suck to do the bulk of the climbing on a hurt hand, but my sissy self made it somehow. |
Lets see... did a parts run today to pick up some gorgeous Mavic MA40 rims for a wheel build, hung out with my friend, took a big assed nap, went to critical mass (a polite affair here), and then came home to relax and enjoy some whiskey.
|
Boosted my wife's credit score by having her open another credit card. FICO is ********.
|
Today I lost my wallet with 40 bucks and my Debit card in it. Other then that the day was great. Called the bank to close the account so I shouldn't have anything to worry about.
|
Today I found a sweet bike shop to help my mom find a bike. Also I got clipless pedals to put on my own bike when I go back home.
|
mines almost 3ft long.....i couldn't imagine cutting it....
|
Just got back from doing my first fixed metric century. Around 5200 feet of climbing, I didn't wuss out on the route that's for sure... feel great now, but probably won't like walking tomorrow.

Today I had a date with the Leader. Rode it in the rain for the first time (cut the ride short as the rain got too hard). I found a sweet spot on my saddle that made it much more comfortable and moved the saddle ~1cm forward to place that spot where my butt ends up. Raised its bars 2.5mm and cut all the excess steerer tube. Then, gave it a bath and typed this.
|
Today I spent a solid 5 hours on the dirt.

Seriously, you are living the life. If you take a road trip north, lemme know. A glass of Canadian Rye can be waiting for you when you get north of the border.
Today I f'd around with a good number of my own bicycles, tweaking this and tweaking that and then my friend brought over his newly acquired Ron Cooper road bike so I could look at it and hook him up with some Dura Ace pedals to match his gruppo on the bike. He brought me a bottle of Dalmore single malt (12 year old) and a bottle of Ricard Anise liqueur... he knows how to tip his mechanic. I really like my Alberta Springs 10 year old rye but tonight I might have to sample the Ricard. :) |
Today I saw Soko play a live show in an alley at a free festival in Pasadena. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
|
Yeah that Alberta Springs is good stuff. We 'accidentally' started and polished off a bottle of Alberta Premium on the weekend which is also good. Haven't had the Rickard's.

Alberta Premium is also remarkably good for a 5 year old and although some say it is a good mixer, it is nice with a little ice. If you find yourself on this side of the rocks (Alberta) we will have to enjoy a few fingers of the good stuff... I have some Amrut single malt which is to die for that I save for company. If you like liquorice / anise then you might really enjoy Ricard. |
So far today I pulled the cranks and loose-bearing bottom bracket on my Centurion project(lockring on the BB fought me). I know it looks rough but what counts is there. Plans are to repaint the frame to a same/similar white.

it was, im not a huge fan of "typical" bbq like ribs and pork and wings, but it got me to like ribs and wings so its a start
Good BBQ is one of the few benefits of living in this state. |
There's no good BBQ on Long Island. It's like trying to find Indian food in Kansas.
|
today i did 45 miles, it was 88 degrees with some 24 mph gusts, felt like 110 miles and degrees
also didnt prepare yesterday cuz of bbq so i only brought pretzels for food, wasnt the best, still rather be riding than inside sitting around all day |
Today I was sent on a wild goose chase because apparently some one doesn't know how to look at a map and distinguish North from South. Then they got mad at me!!
|
KOM'd a kicker on a popular commute route
