Just got in from what I call a Commando Ride, not because I ride naked but because it involves back city streets and other roads generally not suitable for riding on. Lots of potholes, cinders, cracks, etc. Why, you ask? Because it was windy and I was tired!
Anyway, sometimes these rides are enjoyable despite the traffic and other stuff.

Too bad. It appears putting the suicide help line at the bottom was a spoiler?

I know we aren't supposed to talk about other threads, but somewhere on BF there is one about a winter jacket. I am exercising monumental restraint by refraining from posting about the awesome Marigold jacket.

I just got back from a ride out on some desert double track and burro trails. Kneed my stem HARD and also got a piece of buckhorn cholla stuck in my leg. I cried all the way back to the van. Anyway, sometimes these rides are enjoyable despite the blood and bruising.

Just had recovery jalapeno cornbread and milk. Now on to stage two recovery - smoked salmon and a nice Gewürztraminer.

If [MENTION=259065]Dan333SP[/MENTION]'s Strava photos are anything to go by, I should definitely bring my bike to VA in a few weeks, 'specially considering what I see outside of my windows.
Also, if [MENTION=259065]Dan333SP[/MENTION]'s Strava photos are anything to go by, I'm not going to pony up for ass-crack-tastic, semi-transparent Rapha bibs.

Hey, I've forgotten the joke number for the one about the elderly gent who's waiting to make a left at a busy intersection, leaves room on the right for straight and right-turn traffic, and the BMW ****bag tries to make a left right on top of him from the right.
Always gets a laugh in the exercise yard.

End of the month. I think that we arrive on the 30th, which might give me the 31st (Sunday) as the only full weekend day there.
