Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

new 3d printed sp-connect mount for the scott cockpit. going to also make a version with a gopro attachment on the bottom for lights; since these bars are not light friendly and i'm using it as a commuter.



did 30 miles today at <100bpm, average 90. no incidents. friday had 5 seconds of somewhat-terrifying VT on another mellow ride, which is not a good sign, but too early after the procedures to really know how bad it is.

I'm back to distance stuff. Having a sanctioning body that's more concerned about putting bollards up than safe racing, is folly.

We might get into holiday decorations a bit more when Lilly is old enough to appreciate them. For now, meh, can't be bothered. Although I would like a nice evergreen in the living room, maybe we'll do that. And a string or two of lights on the front steps.

We don't bother either. Can never figure out anything to buy each other either.

It is. It says "Merry Christmas! Our Dogs Don't Bite So Feel Free To Wander On In. Thank You For Stopping By."

Our theme is dogs, so the only other "animals" are the squirrel by the tree, a snowman throwing a Frisbee for a dog, and a pig. The pig has a sign that says: In "Memory of Esther The Wonder Pig". Esther was the driving force behind Mrs. LAJ becoming Veg.

The sign comes in at night, and I move the scooter with the dog on it, and pull the Taco's in. They stay in the street til bedtime.

Nice.

Could you 3-D print me a custom geometry bike frame?

It turned out really well. People at the bar loved it. The sauce was especially good. I think it would be a good base for something like sausage, peppers and onions.
