In bicycle riding news, my friend that has taken up cycling wants to get together and attempt a his first century this weekend. Should be fun. We attempted a metric last year, but he had to throw in the towel a couple miles short because of fit-related cramping (shoulders, IIRC). He went in for a professional fit earlier this year has accepted that a less aggressive position would be better for him. He has since completed a 75-mile solo ride, so that's a nice sign. Being able to sit on my wheel occasionally should get him over that 100-mile mark, I'd think.

I ordered some tires from Merlin 38 minutes ago. I just got the shipping notification. They're on top of their ****.

Last night's pool tournament results. I haven't played seriously since the seventies. I guess it's like riding a bike. I bought a round with my winnings.

Ooh! U-Haul truck outside - looks like the new neighbors are moving in. I'll be heading out for a ride shortly, so it looks like I may get a chance to make a stuffed-Spandex™ first impression!

I watched this documentary last night about the Woodstock concert and noticed something stunning. Of all the footage they put together to make that film, showing all those concert fans, not a single obese person was seen in any of that footage. None. Don’t take my word for it, watch the doc on PBS. It’s truly amazing and truly sad how America’s health has deteriorated over the course of 50 years. Over 400,000 people attended that concert, and you will be hard pressed to find a fat person. It’s incredible.
