Up early to catch a train to Rome. But, I got to poop without a German audience, so that was nice.

Civility on the monkey? Yawn. I managed to get 4 trail rides in this week from Tuesday to Friday for a total of 47 miles, 8 miles on the giggle pig today took me an 1:45... much tired but a rain filled weekend guarantees rest.
I find the Japanese to be more polite, appreciative and respectful without crowding the stage. The whispered coos of admiration are a nice bonus to a successful outcome.

You all can suck the D. Nah. Love you. You keep my work day funny. Not funny "haha" funny "queer"
This way too early GMT shit needs to stop. I haven't even been home yet. Why ? Because Rockshox. 
Suspension maintenance sucks or damps depending how you look at it.
Fuck, now I have to go home, try to get some sleep knowing that the 10-12 hours spent repeatedly tearing down a Pike and reassembling it were all in vain. Aaaaaaaggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Roma!
Damn..... You crazy after a week in the country.
Also, Euro-rail makes me embarrassed to be associated with any US airline.

Rain... yes! Was supposed to go kayaking today... but not gonna drive 2hrs to paddle in teh rain. Maybe a ride tonight.
Helping the wife saddle up the horse. Her competition ride is in one hour. Need more coffee
It's a sram product
Hello, you beautiful people. I got out early this morning for a 76 mile ride on the tri bike. 18.8 mph...not bad.
It's that front tire. It was trying to kill me. Pretty much all day.
Could I interest you in the Gospel of Coil, brother?
When my wife and I spent the summer in Europe, we *started* in Rome. Fuck that place is manic...Roma!
Damn..... You crazy after a week in the country.
Please tell me that this is a euphemism for something dirty. Please?
Good morning monkeys! As predicted there is a steady rain, expecting about an inch so the trails wont be dry for a day or two. I'm tired anyway so, meh.
The smell of dry in the Rockies...
Oh - and the Iceland/Argentina game this morning. Fuck yeah, Iceland! Wow.
You know it's bad when you go outside and can smell the smell of campfire... from Durango.The smell of dry in the Rockies...
How the fuck does that happen?! Shitty.
I can report that my fathers day night was a tremendous success. Rode a new trail I'd been hearing about for a year now. Steep rock faces down a pine forest. So good. Then lots of beer, wine, shed, and food. Even got a short ride in this morning (on account of more shed than beer, I was less hungover than usual)
It's the usual thing; he stepped into a local coffee shop near his house for a moment, turned around and it was gone. Some drunk nearby saw it and pointed up the road, he said a crackhead nabbed it.
We are getting a patio beer to calm buddies nerves down and then going back out hunting. Hopefully the douchebag left it on a porch.
As is tradition.@Pesqueeb - figures you'd be gallivanting around Europe the one day I end up in the Springs for the WHOLE day while the kids are at a soccer camp at the Air Force Academy.
Ride the canyon then have whiskey sours at Urban Steam?
No bike.
At Urban Steam presently watching World Cup. The coffee here... goddam. Such good coffee.
Gonna head to the pub to get lunch and watch Croatia/Nigeria after.
Agreed, still one of my favorite places in town.
That said, the locals are stepping up thier game. Inertia Coffee off of 8th Street is my go to for beans these days, even though it's all the way across town, and Java Punk by the Switchbacks/skysox stadium also has coffee on par with Urban Steam, and a breakfast nearly as good. Plus, I can walk to it.
I gotta say... the eye-candy here has been quite impressive. 
Late winter/early spring I did a basic service including bleeding the damper. Worked great until just recently. Kept having to run lower and lower air pressure to get the right amount of sag. So I figured it was because I didn't rebuild the Charger damper. Did that and all adjustments seemed to work better than before, but still the same air issue. Took it back off the bike for a second time and rebuilt the air side. Still can only run about 10-15 psi. Smacked a curb with it and heard "spisssss". Blew the dust seal off and up the stanchion, spewing fluid everywhere. Pulled the fork off for a third time, reset the seals and went home.
Stopped at an auto parts store on the way to work and got some valve cores. Hopefully this thing holds air. At the very least I want it to be "ridable" I can put up with poor performance until I can afford a new fork, but I can't handle being bike-less.
That's the Cliff Note's version.
Was a member of the Bomber Congregation for a long time. But unfortunately, if you want the longevity reminiscent of Marzocchi forks of yore, then you gotta pay a ridiculous amount of money and take a pound or so weight penalty.Could I interest you in the Gospel of Coil, brother?
Try it meow
