I will make tonight's ride, No idea how I will do it or which bike I will ride, of if I will have any lights, but I will make it. I am on a three week drought and suffering the effects of overwork. I need some two wheel therapy. I may actually need some taco therapy, but the two wheel portion will help.
If you have not talked to RG about sizing, you may be too late.
ONE!!!! Yes one! Bike????? Maybe the Sunkyung will make a debut outing!
BTW
A student rolled to school yesterday on a fixie. I about died as it is the first legit bike to show up. Don't get me wrong, a bmx is a fine ride, wish I had one, but this is the next step of bike love that I have longing to see.
Until we ride,
an overworked and under trained LOtB

TWO. Larz, do you need to borrow the 820?
ReplyDeleteAfter a week in SD where my vacation was hijacked by a sinus infection, work and real life are smacking me down, battery died in the truck on the way to work this morning... Fortunately B and Book arrived to help me push it into a parking spot to take a rest until the battery could be replaced. Done - we roll again and I am looking forward to some two wheel therapy. Don't worry, it may sound like PPP, but I am all good, he didn't even visit us in SD, I HTFU'd and had fun at the zoo, beach and sea world. Didn't surf though, and that does P me off.
FIXIE
Yesterday on my ride home I rolled up on some kid on a fixie with red wheels and his buddy on a crappy road bike. With three of us taking over Main Street I said to the kid, "Critical Mass Placerville?" and then, as if I didn't know, proceeded to ask him "is that a fixie?" He said, 'Ohhh yeahhh' as if those were the only cool bikes to ride. Either way, progress.
Three! How about a Cross Bike outing in town? It's going to be sloppy wet.
ReplyDeleteFinal jersey order is tomorrow. I replied on final edits for artwork yesterday, PBR logo included. We're looking at a $3K purchase.
Red wheeled fixie...that's my boy! Wet and soggy is fine, I am in need of tacos! And we have some pretty cool table conversations for tonight!
ReplyDeleteFour. Definately prefer wet and soggy on my new ride tonight + tacos. I have some fun XC reports from Southern OR.
ReplyDeleteBTW, LOtB, nice new picture, and where is your new big-wheeled ride?
5:45 at Mosquito on up to Pollywood...
ReplyDelete820 might be a good bet for me tonight...add to the suffering!
The new ride is currently in good husband mode. Sometimes wife logic is...well I won't finish...should be ready to pick up new ride on Fri.
Lars, you are welcom to the Old Soldier tonight if you want.
ReplyDeletePollywood? I missed that ride. What bikes are we riding, where?
ReplyDeleteI made the famous EDH fixie sighting, he was pushing it up Bee Street toward Canal; get that young man on a program Larz.
Still no verdict on the cracked Wilier. :-(
Cracked Wilier's, fixie's, Pollywood, PTown? What is FT3 coming too? TMZ here we come! Along those lines, I just decided that I actually did win the Sac CX series, I am going to make my own jersey and put a pic of me wearing it on top of this website!!
ReplyDeleteSee you dudes at 5:45, Mosquito.
Pollywood is code for the Pines...
ReplyDeleteLars, go get your new bike... it is Fat Tire Taco Tuesday and we are going Mountain Biking tonight!
ReplyDeleteIs the comment field blowing up?
ReplyDeleteCracked Wilier's? Did I miss something?
ReplyDeleteYep, the grand Italian machine has a crack in it, negotiating with dealer and manufacturers rep on how to proceed. It looks like I'll have to spring for a crash replacement price and then send back the old frame for evaluation, PITA, and just after I put new cables, bars and had a bike fit. P3 Out.
ReplyDeleteGet ready for the wintry mix!
ReplyDeleteFit kit shipped back last Friday.
ReplyDeleteYou need to apply some thrust and stamina to that girth to be more effective on the trail.
The crack was more than hairline and the shop recommended inspection by Wilier. I thought the bylaws stated topic table time (t3) was proportional to $ value at stake, that give me 30 hours of leeway given the fork shipping cost precedent.
