Hey adding heart rate and cadence to the ride level's sounds like a great idea!!

Argh... my brain hurt enough without thinking about heart rate and cadence.

"This ride is a high cadence relaxed ride. We will ride at whatever pace and in whatever gear results in 120 RPM and 120 bpm."

Dangit ... won't be able to make it to the train. I'll have to wait another hour. Probably won't be able to see anything anyways with the air show ... consider this my lazy weekend.

Um... Sacha won't "park." No lock or chain gets near her silky carbon fiber skin. Where she doesn't go, I don't go.

So, I've gotten zero cleaning done. But I have ran errands, including picking up a new IPOD shuffle. It is so cute and tiny. I got it in blue. My last IPOD fizzed out after I sweated all over it. I will remember with the new one to dry it off.

I talked to my Dad and he got new shoes (specialized) and pedals. I want my shoes, NOW! Anyone know where I can go in the Valley for specialized shoes? Or do I have to call every bike shop there is?

My shuffle - like my cell phone - is ancient. But both have been indestructible so I'm afraid to replace it with a more sophisticated product.

I've dropped my shuffle in a cup of coffee, stepped on it numerous times, had it nearly swallowed by a golden retriever, left it in 140° car in summer, even ran a vacuum cleaner over it.

I look like the cat in my avatar... Although, I am going to do an hour ride around the RB. It will bore the hell out of me, but I'll get some exercise in. I'm such a slug right now.

No, the SIDIs were so uncomfortable when I tried them on. I have duck feet with a very small arch. I loved the way the $250 all carbon Shimanoes felt, but they do not offer heel replacements and I know my luck. I'll buy the Shimanoes and the heel will go bad within a year!

So, I'm hoping that the specialized (which do offer heel replacements) will feel as good as the Shimanoes did.

Hmmmm.....maybe I'll head up to Montrose before picking up my bike.

You are clearly not a responsible Shuffle owner. People like you should not be allowed to own Shuffles.
