Waiting for 60 degrees, which should happen as I get dressed. 4.5 hours of endurance pace should be for more palatable at that temperature.

Daughter was diving in the Atlantic in Ireland today. Air temps were in the low 40s. These girlies are tough.

Planning next Summer's tour. That's what I do in November. I have all winter to train. Looking at two ~300 mile legs, with a bus ride and a few days rest in the middle. Time is not on my side, for that third leg.

Here’s me riding the real Richmond cobbles last month. No jet engine hum, just the sound of my teeth and cables and chain rattling.
New house and new baby means riding outside is next to impossible now, so I’m slowly becoming a Zwift-only cyclist, as much as it pains me to admit that. Oh well, beats being sedentary.

McDonald's China ain't messin' around. I can't read Chinese, but I'd like to think it says Double Barrel Weiner Burger.

Okay, mechanics and mechanically inclined, cleaning out the emulsion tube got the snowblower going (wooooo!) but it's running roughly. So, uh, now what?
The carb bowl gasket has gotten bent out of shape in the process and needs to be replaced. Could that seal cause a rough idle?

Same for my doctorate. I have no idea what it says. And it was around the end of the time they used real sheepskin. I called and asked for a replacement when a framer damaged it slightly. The school told me the replacement wouldn’t be sheepskin. Okay... What they didn’t tell me was it would have “second copy” printed on it in Latin. That I could translate. I decided to just use the original. Bastids.

Interesting but slightly sad story. You may recall the last chapter, one of my friends/club-mates has a gorgeous custom crabon Seven that cracked TWICE on the DS seatstay near the dropout. The most recent time was a few months ago, and they repaired it.
He discovered it cracked AGAIN. Same location. I don't know what the issue is, but it's no bueno.

I had the lbs install my Token Ninja dub and crankset in the new frame. I dont apparently have a bb30 removal tool. So I thought what the heck. Best $30.00 I've spent so far.
