Morning monkeys!

At the house I looked at yesterday, the guy had stacks and stacks of papers in folders stacked all over a couple of rooms. Weird.

Today I'm going to Providence to videotape a bunch of streets. One person shouldn't have this much fun, so the boss is sending 3 of us. Going to be a long day.

Be safe out there.

Went to the grocery store to get some breakfast food (I eat at work after I ride in) over lunch. Grabbed a 9 piece sushi while I was there. It's been nice knowing you all. It wasn't ver

Happy August 3, monkeys!! This day usually only comes once a year, so enjoy it while it lasts. I hopped on the road bike after work yesterday for my 23 mile cruise around town. I pedaled hard and managed an 18.7 average. Not too shabby for me. I swear, I like my new road bike more every time I ride it. 10 mile run on the post-work agenda today.

Last night the wife and I began packing for monkeyfest weekend. HOORAY!! My bike lights are now fully charged!

 

[Pesqueeb]

Wild weather last night, what a show. Dear lord is the coffee maker in flight ops slow, a fool could get killed by something like that.

Morning all. Managed a road ride last night, was the first back to back day of riding in a while and I rode it to go to a meeting instead of taking the car. I feel good.

Bananna, nutella, espresso, peanut butter smoothie this morning..mmmmmmm

That smoothie sounds incredulous.

Moved into a new apartment Monday, so I spent last night unpacking. I feel like I made pretty decent progress. I might actually be finished before I leave for Monkeyfest tomorrow!! The best part about this apartment is the fact that is has a entire space in the entryway that all four bikes and four pairs of skis fit into PERFECTLY!!!

Now, hopefully I can find my headlamp for the drunken night ride at MF. Hopefully I was smart enough to just throw it in with the rest of my bike-related stuff and it's not in some random box marked "misc. stuff" that I won't open for 6 months.

 

[stevew]

supposed to be 100 today.

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

Congrats to you on becoming an Uncle...Syd LOVES her uncles so I'm sure you'll be a favorite too

Now, lets discuss this Jiminy vs. Monkeyfest problem :evil:

 

[TreeSaw]

Morning. Lights are charged for Monkeyfest. Laundry complete. Packing Syd's bag next, oh and we're making cookies so my house smells great! We leave for monkeyfest first thing in the AM...WOOHOO!!!!

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

Congrats to you on becoming an Uncle...Syd LOVES her uncles so I'm sure you'll be a favorite too

Certainly hope so!

Now, lets discuss this Jiminy vs. Monkeyfest problem :evil:

I was just up there 2 weeks ago for a couple days with Polandspring88 actually. If I'm going to KT it's gotta be a 2+ day trip, and don't think I can pull that off this weekend. I haven't been DHing yet this year so a day trip to Jiminy (2hrs away) gives me plenty of time to do the REAL fun things Sunday, like mow the lawn.

 

[Total Heckler]

Morning all.

I leave for Whistler on Friday. My bike is packed up. The awesomeness of this hasn't quite hit me yet.

 

[stoney]

Riding, job searching, maybe some gardening, and getting prepped for our backpacking trip this weekend.

 

[Heidi]

Oh jeez. I suck. So remember back a couple days when I was complaining about how someone made an extremelly weak batch of coffee? Well I saw the lady who made it yesterday walking along the hall trailing her fingers along the wall and wearing black lense glassess. Turns out she has cataracts and is going blind! Surgery is this week. She probably couldn't friggin SEE to make the coffee.

By rebuilding you mean dusting off right?

Washed them last night. Tonight greasing all the pivots, cleaning the drivetrains, pulling out and greasing the BB's, greasing the headsets, lubing all the fork/shock seals. Going balls out.

Going to go for a pedally ride after work today. Seems summer has finally arrived here.

Haha awkward word choice there.



This working thing is for the birds. The birds who pay their bills on time, I suppose.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Damn. I need to probably pull my bike apart and lube everything after the multiple baths it took last weekend. Dammit. Dammit. Dammit.

No need. I mean, what are the chances you'll ride again this year?

Had I not spent last weekend riding the spectacular high country of the Sawatch and the San Juans that might have hurt.

I saw the RR, looked amazing.

True. Most of the uphill sections in these rides were pushed. But the DH was *all* riding:

crashed hard yesterday and added another minor concussion to my resume.

Stripped the paint off the SJ and it now looks 100x better, 12 layers of paint and 2lbs later.

New crankset and rear shock needed and that's it.

You know, 'round here you can pay about $30 and descend that much over and over and over again without having to hike.

Somehow I think it might be different.

True. There's rocks and roots here.

I concede. There surprisingly is very little rock in the Rocky Mountains.

After wrenching on my bike in the garage, I went to throw the bike on the roof of the car in the driveway. On the way to the car I saw big 'ol pile of nastiness right in front of the car tire. I backed over one of the biggest frogs I've ever seen when backing down the driveway when I came home. Nasty squishing noise and a trail of blood from sweeping it off the driveway. Brand new tires, too. Gross.

 

[Polandspring88]

So much for your Prince Charming, all he wanted was a kiss...

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

I kissed him......with my tire.
