Yeah shipping is like $10, I don't even know why I'm thinking about it. They almost got me. In other news, today I'm gonna turn my gold cranks into silver cranks.

Today, JRA, got a bee sting in my crotch. Missed The Equipment by mere centimeters. 
Anybody make Kevlar bike shorts?

Got sick of shopping around for some 1" threadless spacers, so DIY'd some.
They're brass, so not only are they heavy, they'll scratch if you look at them wrong, but for the time being they sure are purdy:

Fresh Garbage
Today during my commute I gave a bee a lift from Mar Vista to Venice.
Excuse the lack of manscaping.
I will consider it good fortune, with all the bee die offs and all

An out of focus bee on my shoulder blade. There is only so much I can do with a phone camera held over my head.

You've got a weird lookin' taint, friend. And if there's one thing I know, it's weird lookin' taints.
Today I'm probably going to submit an offer on a house. I'm a little terrified.

Today under the word of the internet and friends I went with the sqrl to taco bell to try some locos tacos. I got a definitive definition of "meh" for [strike]food[/strike] "edible matter" now.

The sqrl's dad crashed his S2 over the weekend, so today I got it rolling again. New RD, hanger, chain, cassette, housing, and cable. Couple hundred bucks in damage after the cost of two day shipping cause he's leaving for a race this weekend.
Boy do I love recabling S2's.

Yesterday i got in 41 on the s5.
Today I'm officially taking the day off from riding.....10 days straight....
Some friends and I might go for a century tomorrow.
Nag- you think fishing cables through an s2 is torture, just wait until you have to route di2 through a Tarmac frame with a Calfee seatpost battery.
I've "designed" several "tools" to help me with internally routed frames......it gets easier every time you do it.
My kryptonite is 3T base bar cabling......can take 12secs one time and an hour the next.

Riding wise it all depends what you're in for, Ithaca isn't exactly a town made for riding fixed. There are plenty of little rides around town- farmers mkt to Stewart park on the waterfront trail isn't bad, but anything more than about 5 miles requires some relatively serious climbing. One of the flatter rides is out 89 on the west side of the lake to taughannock park. That's about 20 miles round trip. Send me a PM if you'd like, I can probably answer this better once I know what you're in for.

Today because of the set up for the Boston Pops it took me nearly two hours to my 35~min commute. I thought I was going to turn into Michael Douglass in falling down.
