I was just poking fun at the idea that it was somehow "international" as in "among nations." Sounds like a good time.
Mmm-mm! That is a tasty burger.

It helps if you can't ride a bike to the county courthouse because it's 15 miles away and you have no rides.
Not slagging it but I'm permanently excused.

Ican say, however, that sliding both tires of a Superbike through a corner at 120 mph does not feel "Gnarly". A better description would be to call it a F'n spiritual event. And the first time you do it, the ONLY thing you can think about is doing it again. It's worse than blow.

Yesterday I raced bikes in the mud and got to the middle step against a bunch of guys with gears.
Unfortunately most of the eggnog missed my mouth:

Sorry, no vids, just a few still photos.
Frankly, the first time was unplanned.
After that though, the hunt was on. Can I find that ragged edge without killing myself?
Congrats. And dude, LEGS!

Installed a WUtang111 to my battery and got to e-tube on mah phones via some blueteeth! Di2 is freakin' awesome. I would post pictures but there is nothing to see because it is in the frame hidden away. Pretty soon will install the bar end Junction A and have a super clean set up.
Also made some delicious red sauce (tomato, marinara, gravy...) yesterday. The trick is few ingredients of high quality and plenty of wine. If you add sugar you have failed if you have a billion herbs you have failed. Whole peeled tomatoes, tomato paste, red red wine, garlic, onions, olive oil, basil, salt, red chili flake...cook it a while, longer is better. Eat on pasta or bread or whatever.

Adding sugar to pasta sauce of any nature is baffling to me.
A billion herbs on the other hand. I'm cool with that.

1st gravy I made on my own, yeah gravy, OK?, was vile. apparently I never paid attention to my Mother while living at home. I put too many different things in it. thus began a series of phone calls to Mom for cooking advice. but best meatballs were her mother's. Miss you Grandma Sal!

The bluetooth E-Tube thing is WU-111 for Wireless Unit but I added in the Tang because that is what they should have called. Get rid of those Old Dirty Wires.

This is an easy week for me on the bike so I did the randomest thing this morning:
20' easy spin around the hood, then 20' run, then I kitted up again and rode into work (45 min). Gonna ride home after work too. It's windy and dry out! Kinda exciting to be outside but gets unpleasant after a few minutes.

today i installed the new tiagra 4700 on my space horse, much to MotorHeadroadie’s chagrin. i wanted 10 speed, i like the alloy levers, and the new shimano hood shape is the best shape up to this point imo.
haters gonna hate. also, it was cheap af.

Today I cleared 3000 miles for the year with a colder than hell commute home from work. It was 22° F when I left work.

No need for this on rollers, because the front wheel also spins.

Riding rollers is just like riding on the road, where you have to balance the bike and both wheels need to rotate to provide stability. Rollers are great for developing a smooth high cadence.
