You might have them check for a "dry socket" or infection. You look more swollen than normal IMO.

I think it might be Samsung's "selfie cam" or whatever. They do this thing where it smooths skin and removes acne. I can assure you I actually look like this irl right now. Its quite amusing.

today i'm still ranked #1 in the "local" leg of the national bike challenge than consists of 726 riders.
i don't often set goals, so it makes me proud when they become a reality.

I'm over freaking out over this haha. Either that, or I'm too hungry to care anymore.

My formerly full DA 7800 CAAD 10 commuter now has 10 spd 105 shifters and it's better than before. #trickleeffect
GTFO side mounted shifter cables, you will not be missed from this build.

Today I learned what Strava is and how much I need a new saddle.

Looking into Brooks or a Turbo saddle. Any other recommendations?

getting a nice mini-bonus mid year from the CEO, for the purposes of acquiring a mountain bike.

gonna build up a mtb, 1x10 (or 11) xc-style steel hardtail with 650b wheels and a 100mm suspension fork. I have the build mostly figured out - I find it quite distracting at work

Funny, I just had a problem with that for my new daily driver road frame, same dropout style:




Chain suck got stuck in the frame, snapped the RD and bent the hanger. It was able to get straightened out, but still, replaceable hanger FTW. The dropouts are nice to use, but do present some increased liability.
