Calamari Marionette Ph.D
Never been a big beer drinker even when I did drink, and I still have never had the craving for one after a strenuous activity. On a hot summer day after a long ride, mowing the lawn, yard work, whatever, it was never a beer I craved. Mostly a huge glass of water with a lot of ice in it.
I drank booze for a purpose, to be affected. I could sit here and say I liked the flavor of a good whiskey. But that would be a lie.
I quit because it got in the way of more important stuff.
Always hated the taste of beer. All beers.

THIS is the very best thing after a long, hot ride.

I developed pain in my left knee after hammering a gravel ride last Friday evening. I rode to work today and it is somehow feeling better. Hoping the trend continues, I want to turn up the volume on training next week...

Yep. The "smart" link was nowhere to be found. Never in my 14 years of riding fixed have I popped a chain and I was only using SRAM to troubleshoot a noise. I'm never using a smart or quick link on this frame. This could have been much much worse for me or anybody around me if I did not retain control of the bike. I 've never Ted Shredded before. Never know what you are capable of in "holy ****" situations.

I made my boss order some Topo Chico for our shop (since we are the only ones in the company that sell food and beverage since we are in a different state) and he was initially hesitant but I said if they don't sell in a certain period I will buy them for myself. I keep trying other mineral waters and they are all inferior to Topo.

I was a La Croix fan. Then I tried Topo.

I haven't been this enthralled since the last SSFG beer vs. fancy water debate.

Come to think of it, a couple of my bikes have at times worn both a skinwall and blackwall tire due to circumstances. I was always too embarrassed to let those pictures be seen on BF, but I'm feeling more sanguine about it now.

I'm faiiiiiirly certain that I'm going to purchase a Wabi Classic soon with in Desert Turquoise color. I'll also want a wheelset built for it (prob TB-14's and some basic cartridge bearing hubs) and I have everything else that I need. The wheelset will need to wait a month (or two) but I can't stop thinking about that frameset...
I'm also going to run Panaracer Pasela's in 28c. With GUMWALL. They make those right???
Application will be fixed gear road bike. I already have a beater w risers and a track bike. Drops, dual brakes, fix/fix hub w 15 and 17t cogs. 42t ring.
