Got yelled at on Monday night, so I was happily surprised.

Rode 50.2 miles tonight. Hauled ass. 30mph on the flats at one point. Legs are going to be all squiggly tomorrow.

At Subway last night some chunky girl asked how far we ride, where we start from, then proceeded to tell us we looked cool in our kits and that she wants to start riding with us. It was cool.

I'm a total Fred, as seen in the recent picture of me racing.

First day not riding since last Saturday. So windy, so cold. Just ate Thai food, too, so I'll be lacing my mountain bike wheels on the toilet tonight...

Cold? It appears we got rid of that nonsense, at least for the next week.

Didn't see it on mobile. Looks pretty sweet. I'd love to get a photo inside Neyland.


Paid today...
Decision time: suspension fork, mtn bike shoes + pedals, FSA SL-K road brakes, or road shoes? Each will cost roughly $200, road brakes being the cheapest option. Brakes are approx $100 my cost, plus I could probably sell my old ones to a guy that's building a bike at the shop right now.

Cold rain, go away. Wouldn't mind if it was warm rain. Dumped buckets on us today and my next race is a week away. It'll be a sloppy mess again, I'm sure.

Sooner or later I could use some new shoes. Back brake pads are worn. I think my bottom bracket is about done. My wheel still rattles. #old

Saw some cyclists on the Internets did #30daysofcycling in April.

That's a long time without a day off. Plus, they must live where the weather doesn't get so bad, because we had some crummy wet days in April.

I did #21daysofcycling.
