Good morning.
Up since 3. Coffee drank. Considering a road ride once the sun rises.

Leaving the office shortly. Got some calls later but nice to get out.
This worky thing isn't my cup of tea.
slept in, schedule today sucks. lots of large folks in wheelchairs to transport and lots of time in lovely Oakland. Kill me nao
Man the traffic around here has been crazy lately. I thought with summer break happening, it would ease up a bit, but nope, it has only gotten worse.
9 miles / 35 minutes for me this morning.
I go that far, faster, when I ride the singespeed to work. Have you considered a bicycle?

Pretty much exactly the same distance and time for me as well. Its worse at night.

But I swear around here, part of the problem is the timing of the street lights. Some are so short, that they don't empty the turn lanes or allow more than a few rows of cars to go. The best is when the light switches, but there are ZERO cars waiting to go the other direction; WTF??
Or there are lights too close together, so you're sitting at one light on a green, but the next one is still red or the traffic hasn't moved. So you'll go through multiple light cycles without moving an inch.
Kill list material.
'Morning! Had a PT appointment at 7:00 this morning to get my naggy leg beat on. PT Boy says my hamstring tendons on that leg are inflamed and swollen. So, he gave it a deep massage and some Grafton and fucking hell that hurt. He said it's getting better though and to keep riding and running and stretching and rolling. So, I will do that. I've got six weeks until my Ironman and my running is way, way, way behind schedule.
Morning Monkeys.
Scrambling to get Frita ready, seems like there are a million things to do. Having one functional hand really sucks, FYI.

Mine is almost entirely without lights with the exception of one set of lights at the start and two sets of lights at the end. It's a completely jammed interstate. I can do it in 10 minutes at night.
FTS is pegged currently. 
10 yards / 45s for me this morning. Usually it's quicker, but I put on a robe this morning.

Also took Haley on a ride yesterday - 4 miles. One of her longest yet, with lots of hills. She LOVES gears, even though she is struggling to use the grip shift. I need to get a little bit of cables and housing going on there to see if that makes them work better.
Hey - I can't remember if that's a Shimano 7sp setup... but I may have some Shimano 7/8sp trigger shifters in the bike box.
Is that crazy fucker still shilling $hitcoins?

It is indeed. If you do have some, please let me know. I have 9-sp up the wazoo, but not those.Hey - I can't remember if that's a Shimano 7sp setup... but I may have some Shimano 7/8sp trigger shifters in the bike box.
I can give you a 9 speed X.0 grip shift set, cassette, long cage rear and your choice of FD's if you want them.
Only took them off my hardtail a few months ago when I switched it to 2x11 from 3x9.
Someone took their meds it seems.
Heading to Michigan on Friday for 8 days.
Can't wait to tour some breweries I've been wanting to hit for a long time plus lots a lake time & golf, I'm cool with it.

just practical solutions for the common cold
I might take you up on some. I have my old 9-speed drive train, but the rear derailluer is hurting.
Since I need to get the front wheel to a disc for any of the real fork options, I might just try to find a set of deore level disc hubs and re-build her wheels. If that's the case, then she will be on a cassette body instead of a freewheel - that's a game changer.
My biggest concern will be her tiny little hands though; she can barely use the brakes. I need to get some levers that can come all the way in.

I only go to the driving range, but my lady's mom wants me to walk 9 with her.
