Speaking of journalism,
I opened the Health section of the school paper at lunch yesterday, and it turns out every month there are strain reviews (as in marijuana). Complete, of course, with THC percentages, aromatic evaluations, and music recommendations. Thought that was pretty funny.

Bought some spd shoes for winter/cx riding, built a two foot by six foot quarter pipe for winter skate sessions and bought two pairs of tights for the rain, just need to grab a pair of thicker gloves and I'm officially set for winter.

That's one thing I don't miss about the PNW
Today I went to the shop to get new pads for my helmet because I somehow lost them, and I asked about their saddles, and got my sitbones measured. Apparently I'm supposed to be on a 168mm saddle. I've been riding a 130 last time I got measured 2 years ago, so that explains the numbness.

MS 150 is in 10 days and I don't remember the last time I went for a long ride with climbs. If I want to do it fixed I have to do something soon. School and work stress no bueno

Two days ago I added a front brake to my coaster brake bike. I'd rather be able to stop my bike quickly than mess with people.

Just make sure you give yourself a couple days between your long ride and the event. At least one day for sure.

Thanks. I'm confident in my ability to go the distance, really it's only 150 miles split for two days 100/50 in places I have ridden plenty. I just had an urge to go fixed and I haven't done that in a long long while. I need one good ride to get into it.

I did STP in July fixed with almost no real long rides(just track) and had absolutely no issues, granted it has pretty much no climbing but just back to back centuries.

Noticed that down low in my jeans near my boot there was a crease that was stuck together. Pulled it apart and there was a smashed caterpillar. RIP

I started commuting by bike again last week. It's nearly 19.5 miles each way but it's actually a really nice route. Feels good. Life is getting back to normal.

I'm starting to commute on Mondays and Fridays now because I do it without having to wake up at ungodly hours, and its 23-24 miles each way.
Commuting is fun in it's own weird way.

I went for a run today, first in a long time and I stumbled across a Pokemon.

You could always ride for the sake of riding.
I also live 2.5 miles from work, ride ~8-10hrs/week yearly average, and rarely ride to work.
