Free hub on my single speed puked its bearings all over the side of the road on my way home from work yesterday afternoon. Seems like a good time to invest in a new set of wheels for that bike. Still, I'm a little bummed out. Well over 6000 miles of almost exclusive commuting, it's been a good bike.

More new airplanes in the hangar. I need a vacation.

Who made that hub? I've never had a hub on a road bike give up the ghost and I typically run a kit for 10K miles before replacing.

Morning Monkies! It my Sunday so I intend to rest in preparation for another awesome week of riding... plus Monday will be a heavy workload day with decision making, conference calls and what not. I find its best to stay awake...

To be honest, I have no idea. I bought the bike used off a guy at work who'd put maybe 10 miles on it, for 300 bucks. It's a motobecane he bought off the interwebz probably a decade ago now. I suspect the components are not of the highest quality, and I haven't exactly been rigorous in my maintenance practices.

Good morning fellas.

Went to around 1 or 2 last night and got up this morning for 7, to do some things for work. I had planned for those tasks to take 2 hours, but only ended up taking 30 minutes. Made it to the ride this morning just on time.

But holy cow is my body tired from yesterday. It's bong shed and nap time.

Despite the Cambodia-esque heat & humidity, hope to be doing moar of this -

Gallon of water, sweat towel and a ready supply of shitty domestic beers makes it bearable.

I am only mildly sore from my big wreck yesterday so I went for a ride with my next door pal. After last night's rain, the imba-free trails have H.E.R.O.D.I.R.T.

'Morning! I slept 10 solid hours last night, it feels like I didn't sleep at all. I smell a nap in my near future.

I rolled my tired bones out of bed at 7:00 and hit the rail trail for my 90 minute run (11.5 miles). One more heavy week of Ironman training and then I hit my sweet, beautiful taper.

There is nothing better than a Holiday in Cambodia...

Rode Chimpex with Stoney bright and early. Dropped off bike at GBS after waiting out their opening for routine new bike checkup plus having them hunt down the click (thankfully not a creak any more).

Hung out with sister's family and visiting parents. Helped wife craft mozzarella filled slow cooker meatballs for visiting undergrad buddy dinner tonight, and made lots of small balls/large balls/meaty, misshapen ball jokes.

All in all a successful day.

Mmmm, half roasted / half smoked meat on open fire. Grapefruit shandy works in this balls hot heatwave, too.

Taking a break at about 20 miles have 8-10 miles to get back home

Loud obnoxious people in the woods are really annoying. Some dude kept screaming like his arm had been severed.

Hiked around Mt Baker today. Parking lots were pure madness. Managed to get away from most of it.

My ball temperatures were quite comfortable.

I did not look at the granite road gap line, but I see what your saying. Must ride again.
