I doubt they would last long for me, it's annoying enough getting leaves occasionally caught in the fenders. I couldn't imagine that whining along constantly.

Back out into the heat to pick up the car. Ugh.

Both tires were in need - rear was dry and the front was lookin' tired and watery. Guess I need to adjust my service interval if I'm going to be riding this much.

Sigh. Got more notifications of losing KOMs to Ace Factor. Looks like some sandbagged "rides" just got uploaded with the restoration of Garmin services. I really don't understand the motivation. Over the last three weeks, he's got more than a dozen fake-ass rides, most of them flagged by others fresh after receiving their notifications.

I used to use a dipstick, but I picked up a "syringe" a couple months back. Injecting isn't really any easier, but now I can suck out old sealant without breaking the bead, which is handy.

In checking my component mileage (the tires were last serviced almost exactly a month ago, about 900 miles), I see that I crossed the 2500 mile mark on the Cervelo this morning.

It was 6-8 weeks, depending upon road conditions. I'm thinking that maybe I should go to every 800 miles or so...

I should cross 1k on the shiny bike on my next ride. I've only had it for almost three seasons

That looks handy. I think I need to try and re-do the rear wheel on my MTB. It's had a slow leak for a while but it was managable, now it seems like it will only hold like 20 psi. I'll overinflate it up to around 30 right before a ride but after a short while I'm feeling the rim bottoming out on roots, which shouldn't happen at all at 30 psi. I have some Orange Seal tape that I might try to throw on top of the Stans that's there now.

Home inspection went great. Inspector said the crawl space was the best he had ever seen. Inside the house was just some minor things nothing to crazy. The back deck has to be resealed, and the owner is taking care of that this weekend. Offered to help, waiting on a response to see how that goes.

I cannot do a focused run while on LSD. Not even as a ute. On mushrooms I can't even move.

I have some old ones up on the peg board. Haven't used them in years.

Suffice it to say, one can ride a bicycle.

Forgotten history that some of you need to read.
