And yet, as the service was about to begin, what started playing? "Sixteen Tons". Oh, sure, they stopped it pretty quickly and put the right track on. But still...

For my Dad's memorial service, we kids chose a piece that, to all of us means "Dad".

He put this on every Sunday morning, as far back as I could remember.

Putting on a couple ounces there, buddy.

Kilograms, for our international readers.

28 g = 1 ounce. Kilogram is inappropriate

75 mile club ride today, my longest in a while. Felt pretty good after the first 25 miles.

You know, they make sweat guards, and they work pretty well. Unless you're just using the bike as a drying rack for towels, in which case, nevermind.

One of my favorite Cannondales is for sale cheap but unfortunately it's been destroyed by trainer time :(

Paint on the underside of the toptube absolutely wrecked:

As an aside, I really don't get people using steel bikes on trainers. It's like the worst possible pairing.

Also, I guess if you keep a bike on the trainer it really doesn't at all matter what bartape you put on there :)

Kilogram is an appropriate unit to measure LesterOfPuppets 's mass.

We're just measuring my excess mass here, not total :)

Steel + NaCl + H20 = rust.

Drop things that people ask them to grab off the top shelf?

I needed that many towels to wipe all the sweat off me.

Yeah, might try one sometime, but I would still need most of the towels.

It’s what I’ve got. No rust after five winters.

Become a senator, a surgeon, or a CEO.

replaced mine with Conti Extreme Contact DWS at about the same price. Ouch! Thinking of going with ATTURO AZ850. Much better price and people love them. Now back to bikes. Check out the Rennlist Macan forum.
