Well yesterday I took some of my high school students out for a bike ride, and when we got back to the shop, there was this lady sitting outside in a beach chair in nothing but a g string tanning. The students went nuts. It was kinda terrible. especially when she followed us into the shop and tried talking to us.

Yesterday I finally broke into the top 10% of a segment on strava on a short sprint. 82/990 at 26.4 mph. KOM is 41 mph.....

sold some stupid cranks super early this morning. dude gave me asking price + a 6er of local beer. dope.

what do i buy now? build my archetypes to CK wheels? got da hubz alrdy. save for another frame? what frame tho? fendered fast bike? dope aluminum? got about 5hundo in the bike fund at the mo' with a sram rival mini group just sittin' on the sidelines.

Is there a hole in your stable? Fill it with money.

I had a dream last night I was chasing KOMs. That's pretty bad.

i want to sell the pompino and replace it with a rainy day bike... steel, 28's, full fenders, GEARS...

Done by our friend Chris Dingwell in Portland, ME. I got all teary-eyed when I saw it.

Full on touring bikes are burly and slow. There are lots of regular "sport" bikes that fit wide tires and fenders, maybe even a rear rack.

TIFU @ work. :-/
it's ok though

That's a pretty sweet tat!

tat is the equivalent of fixie.

in that case get this:

41mph top speed or 41mph average? How long is the segment?

Today I read a very good thread about how a LBS works and why I want to support them more than buying from Amazon and eBay:

Not only that, but he's local (<5 miles from my house).

Today I had bloodwork done in the morning and then went out and rode 80 miles.

I hope nothing serious, Dan. I just got back some positive results on bloodwork myself. Big relief.

Just watched Gattaca for the first time. Wow. I love some dystopian sci-fi.

Have to have it done monthly, blood thinners due to having a couple blood clotting mutations.
