Rode 16 miles of singletrack and worked on some technical skills. Its still disconcerting to me to ride on rocks.

Regretted riding in 105 degree temperatures almost immediately. Almost shed a few tears of joy a few hours later once I was a block away from home again.

that feeling when you drag your sweating carcass into the house and stand in front of the air conditioner.

immediately followed by cold shower with bronners peppermint soap

damn.

i usually come in, strip down and lay on the bed spread eagle beagle with the ceiling fan on for 5mins then hop into the shower and use lukewarm water + bronners. so nice.
it hit 101 today on the ride. bring it on!

i totally understand....i've been mountain biking for about 6yrs and have hit some pretty technical trails in that time...
i won't hesitate to bomb down a decent hill at 40+mph on asphalt, but still get wigged out sometimes going over rocks at 7mph on a trail....

No more two fish cage for me.

Finally found the time to turn most of the parts and frames I'd accumulated over the winter into complete bikes.

Today I got in 48mi....16 fixed and 32 on the cervelo.
Brings me to 282 miles so far for July.

42 miles today.

@278 miles this month.

Dan....have a goal for the month?

700 mile month, got my work ahead of me considering I leave for vacation on the 20th and won't be back until the 29th.

You're on track! Good job!

Tomorrow's effort should put me over 5200 for the year.

Finally got rid of the damn pedal creak! Didn't ride today though :( - other than to the end of the block and back. Will have to take the long way home tomorrow night to catch up.

Saw a couple with a matching pair of the target 85 dollar single speeds, phone was dead so I couldnt get a picture. Also, picking up the keys to the new house tomorrow so I can start spending my money on bike parts again.

Pretty sure I'm going to be buying a Kona Unit SS 29er from a friend. This is going to be sick and I can always gear it up if I don't like SS.

YES i love that bike and i wish i had bought it instead of my kahuna.


today I:


-salsa liplock

-thomson masterpiece to replace elite that was beat to hell and near breaking

-drink with friends at ****ty bro bar, then on way home i sprinted

friends didn't sprint back

I'm trying to find out how much this thing cost originaly. Do you think $650 is fair or too high?


I believe it is the 2011 model

Lets be monocog bros.

Thinking it is a dirt day instead.

They start around $1000. The 2011 was around the same I believe as I had the same one, but got the employee discount so dont know the exat price it was worth. But depending on the condition I would jump on that. They are great bikes.
