ÆØÅ >> Saturday << ÅØÆ
- Thread starter CBJ
- Start date
I need to go riding 'cause it's supposed to break warm tomorrow and stay that way, which is to say serious thaw and muddy surfaces.
10 hours of Friday night sleep have been secured. Weekend is off to a good start.
I was planning an early morning ride but wind and 23F. 
Perhaps later.

I am pretty sure Babs is a cat.

Good start to weekend thus far: baby woke up at 5. I got her to go back to sleep by singing her usual bedtime songs to her and putting her down. Wife couldn't sleep after that so I helpfully suggested some recreational activities. After said morning workout I fell back asleep. A few hours later the sectional couch was delivered--the last of the big house purchases, thank teh FSM.
I too am going to build a bike today.
But first, I am going to go for a random drive and enjoy some coffee while doing so. Might even pick up some beers to enjoy while building said bike.
Today is also a no-pants day, because pants suck. Wearing shorts today even though its snowing.

Waste or Trophy? Its all about perspective.
I haven't pumped a bike tire all year and now I can't find my tire pump! It should be somewhere near the bikes buts it's not...
Pooping and head aching.

Dude what is that beast attacking you? How did you survive?
I wanna go ride in the mud but I hate cleaning my bike

I don't see the connection between mud and cleaning one's bike?
At a trail head, Sandwich is just pulling in.
Rainy day home improvement project three year of putting it off: going to finish the garge walls. Step one is to add the fiberglass insulation batts, step two drywall (maybe next year given my enthusiasm for the project).
i have half of the one unfiinised wall and all of the roof left to do. might be easier if the garage wasn't full of crap

My local trails are that sticky icky shit. Like, make your bike 8lb heavier and stick to your wheels till they jam against the frame. The tire treads don't even show through the mud by the end of the ride half the time.
Smart move Sandy, smart move
What was the nature of the puncture?35miles were ridden, puncture halfway through the ride that Stans couldn't seal
The cops put out Spike strips to prevent him from fleeing.
Tired. Was up late last night studying and forgot to get Haley and Layla's breakfast setup, so they woke me up early. Swim school done. Play date at the park done. Cat, dog, and Haley asleep so studying for me. Planning for a bike ride towing Haley tomorrow
Small little slit in the tread, not sure what caused it. My wife said the Stans rooster tail it shot out was impressive.
Finally found my tire pump next to the trainer in the TV room and managed to pump tires myself without irritating the sternum.
The plans I made for a trail ride today were an a pic fail since I can't lift the bike onto the roof rack and really didn't consider that until this morning. I thought about taking the front tire off and putting in the back of the wagon but since thats 4 lifts over the limit I bailed on the trail and ended up doing an 18 mile ride on paved bike trails along the river.
Winds were sustained at 25MPH and at my back for the 9 miles out which I covered in less than 30 minutes with little effort. Getting back into town took me an hour and 10 minutes and wasn't so pleasant. I took my Trek Fuel which is stock because it has flat pedals, it's my loaner bike for friends who don't have a decent trail bike. Compared to my Sugar it's kind of a pig. No, it's really a pig, not built for speed at all!
Aside from the wind the weather was awesome, party sunny and 65 degrees. Tomorrow will be rain with snow at the higher elevations. I officially call spring.
Old me post ride snack = tacos and beer.
New me post ride snack = apple, walnuts, 1/2 cup homemade granola, water.

I thought the whole point in riding was tacos and beer?
It was, now it's lettuce rolls and soda water.
Finished insulating the vertical wall of the garage so Ruth and I went out for Falafels then hit Road Runner Sports and treated ourselves to new running shoes. She got Asics Gel Nimbus 18s and I picked up some New Balance 1080V6s in the petite size of 13EE
Watch out you may get the munchies after blazing those lettuce rolls.
Truer words have never been written, already hungry 2 hours later.
