Today I:
Rode 50 miles, perfect weather
It has come a long way from the -15F/-45F windchill we had a few weeks back, and the 24+ inches of snow we got last week is almost gone already.

Today I took out my swagged out back up roadie for a ride and I think I like it more than my primary. I may end up selling the replacement frameset I get.
Servo power! It'll open bottles too if you don't have one handy during a mid-ride drink..

https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/bik/4344898438.html has popped up on CL again and it takes everything I have not to go and buy it, I need to start being "responsible" with my money or something like that.
ooooh. Damn I'm glad that's not a 53-54 or I'd be real tempted.

I feel like I would beat the bike up too much to own it, only had the leader for a year and about half the paint is missing.

Fresh Garbage
Sounds good. I hope this thing turns out well because it's what I have been looking for with in a long distance road bike except it doesnt have rack mounts and it's only a 62cm. I know a guy that picked up a 64cm Trek that is exactly what I want and he won't even consider selling it to me :-|

^^**** that guy. Kind of makes me miss Arizona though, I love desert landscapes.
I went on a twenty miler with the track bike today to dial in new pedal/shoes(woowoo ultegra 6800). Scotchguarded my new tent and grabbed some cheapish 6.5speAkers with box for the pick up. Also got my obra card/numbers for this year, ready to get my cat5 on.

he probably couldn't see you from way back where he started his pass, and that was a totally legal maneuver...
im not so sure he did anything wrong. just another reason why cycling is so dangerous.
edit: what iTripped said.

Yeah, I don't fault him too much...maybe a little cuz he was in 50mph and was going a lot faster.
It was a bunch clenching moment when he went by tho.

You're allowed to briefly speed in order to safely pass.
I'd be just as rattled if I were the driver.

Today I am leaving from Tampa FL, flying back to New England, Maine just in time for another Polar Express, wondering WTF I'm doing, sticking to NE when there's riding weather elsewhere.

My lunch ride felt fantastic today! Feelin' fast, avg'd ~175bpm for the central hour.
I had to reign it in a few times and slow down in the middle because I was going to hard. Woah Nelly!

I don't get why you called the driver an *******. Perfectly legal and fine.

Perhaps I'm an idiot for riding my bike on Sunday on a crappy chip seal road that goes to a lake full of drunken morons, but I have every right to be on that road as well, and to take the lane if necessary. Had I been in the lane due to some debris or deteriorating road, that guy would have hit me head on. And that is why I called him an *******. What if I had been on a motorcycle, would passing the car be legal and fine then?
Edit: this is silly. I'm fine and have a cool bit of video to share on the internet. I don't really care that much. It just seemed like a bit of an irresponsible thing to do, thats all.
