This is also why the people pushing to switch the language to phonetic spelling are wrong-headed. |
Went out for 3 hours this morning, got scared by some drivers. Some days are like that, like they had a meeting last night with all the drivers deciding to drive crazy.
Anyway, got home ok and a realtor was showing the crap house to a family of 6. How 6 people could live in that thing is beyond me. (first world problem). |

I have a new respect for those of you who can (still) ride hills. I was never a good climber, but I could do it. I can't anymore. I spent an inordinate amount of time in the smallest ring. Back to the flatlands for me.

and an AWESOME porch
Didn't get wet except from a few wind gusts. Lots of our neighbors came outside to watch the storm themselves. Southern porches are awesome. |
I had another "Oh, My God!! I LOVE this bike!!!" experiences, this time with the Schwinn Circuit. I felt like I'd been neglecting it, and I'd gone to the trouble of getting a 22t and a 26t cog, to make the gearing a little easier for my old legs. So I took it out for a 65 mile ride, and WOW, it was great!!! Not just a pretty face! Between the steel frame and the VIttoria Corsa tires, the ride was comfy but it never felt too mushy or flexy. The SIS gears work great, even on a Uniglide cassette. I think rotating the Biopace chainrings really makes the difference.
This is the 22" frame I dithered over, not sure I could make it fit me, since I usually ride 58 or 59 (23-23 1/2"). But with a longer seatpost and a 130mm stem, the length is good. The bar is a good 2cm lower than most of my other bikes, but with a Soma Highway One bar, I can still use the drops for riding into the wind. Surprisingly comfortable! And I was afraid I'd have to get a Nitto Technomic stem. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...9c9d1b3d90.jpg |

Nope. We missed the storms. We were just on the north edge and just got a few sprinkles and a lot of weather warnings. Belleville, OK? My wife's grandparents lived on "A" Street in Belleville.
My parents and sister live in the 59th St area, just a few miles from your wife's grandparents. |

I downloaded 117km of the women's road race earlier and I'm about to sit down and watch it. I only caught the final 15km or so this morning.

Watching reruns when you could be watching whatever is going on here.

Stupid crit at 4:30. Of course, that means I miss the Early Bird Special at Denny's. I guess it was worth it though, because I hit the podium in third again. Baby steps. The Grand Slam will have to wait.

Feels like a Monday.

The new Olympic sports are dumb.
