Still on the bart line though.

Yeah, we were mainly only interested because it's on the Bart, and decent.

Sorry I didn't realize it was like that. I didn't mean to make light of your plight.

I hope something turns up soon.

Today I did about a 100 miles with a hobbit / chipmunk hunter.
I also burned half my package off with an ill fitting set of bibs/saddle height.
All in all it was a great day.

I'm not surprised. I was just stating the obvious.

Yeah, I saw the heavypedal zepher @ RG and the second thing that came to mind right after the rad paintjobs was "wait isn't that one of those cdale track groupies?"

Also $900+ is expensive for a columbus cromor bike. LOL MASH POTATOES

Rad, I'm glad. Hope the stem was to your liking as well (and the little pin I put in!).

No bike news, but I've been doing some fast interval-y type stuff on the Torelli.

The exact opposite of riding a century! haha. That sandwich sounds good tho.

I just finished the Chili's group ride in SD, first group ride in a while. Rode conservatively, felt fine. Should have gone harder

Made a quick (~5min) stop at my apt to use the bathroom, fill up on water, and check bf!!!! Headed out for another solo 90min right now, will take it easy minus one hard effort up Mt. Soledad.
