Nothing today, nothing tomorrow, hopefully some saddle time on Sunday.

My wife needed the car today, and the weather was supposed to be OK, so i thought that I'd ride the cross bike to work (24 mile New York City commute). I put my wife and baby in the car, watched them drive off, walked back to my place to get the bike - and realized that my helmet & gloves were in the car.jacksonpt said:
Taking the subway to work today sucked.
:mumble:
Did a urban park ride last night. Very fun. I rode well. Climbing was a bitch in the snow but I suppose I will have to get used to it. More coming thats for sure. All those little of-camber things that you usually don't pay attention to. Well you have to pay attention to those now. Winter riding is so different. That is all......jdcamb
I may ride today. It's really cold here right now
8:43 in the AM and it is 32 degrees here in the ATL.
I think I'll go do my laundry first. I loathe the laundromat. AT least I have my new MTB UK and Retailer mags to keep my mind off the 'internationals' and meth whores. I swear it's like a holding cell from an episode of Cops.

Is that ATL = Atlanta? It's about the same here in CT, and we call that "chilly."jet said:
I think I forgot how to ride a bike.
I rode again a little bit after tweaking the front Avid Mech a little bit - but the damned thing still kept squeeling like a banshee last night - louder than all get out and not pleasant.
Surfed the web a bunch too looking for deals and whatnot. :devil:

Did some good time on the rollers last night, planning on more of the same today.
Yo, Yo!
I might be riding Saturday morning. Whoo Hoo! It's suppose to be nice during the day 50 something. Hopefully the morning won't be too much worse, or I'll be a little freaking cold. An of course it will be a solo ride.

Mine don't squeal like a banshee, but they do rub, and cause a little noise. Which pisses me off because my buddies are silent. It's just my front though, my back brake is good. I can't get it to shut up either. I'm hoping when I change the rotor and pads things will clear.
No bicycling today, but spent the day in the woods on foot, continuing to scope a new trail and felling a few trees. Made a backpack for the chain saw out of an old SCUBA rig.

Just got back from a ride 
McGRP01, Squirrel, Brewer (non-monkey) and I went out for a rip at the SMBA trails. McGRP01 & I demonstrated what not to do on a steep, icy rock...he used his brakes and went OTB...then I proceeded to claim that it was rideable and went down hard too...no brakes, just had some difficult not turning on ice Brewer went OTB a little later in the ride, but Squirrel rode quite well...or he was so far ahead of the rest of us that we just didn't see him crash :devil: It was quite cold though....time for me to invest in warmer riding socks & shoes!

i just bought some wool hiking socks from a local outdoor store (REI) they work really good. Plus riding with Toester Booties or similiar products make the piggies very happy.TreeSaw said:

Went for a night ride with Toshi, Black Sunshine, and his pal Downhill Dave. Good times, night riding is so surreal i love it.... Can't wait for the Green Mt. ride tomorrow morning!
Yesterday's ride was a blast! (thanks for the invite Treesaw) Everything was frozen and it made for some fast trails! Suprisingly, I'm not too sore for the number of times I went down on icy patches.
