And speaking of projects, I just pulled a Claud Butler out of the car---belongs to a friend of the wife's. It's a good thing I no longer have a camera(I apparently sat on it). I wouldn't know where to begin. Sad! It's here for a refurb. I don't know when to begin. Sad!!

Shockingly, it seems that we live in different conditions, ride bikes in different manners, and have different best fit solutions.

You don't need to clean your chain? You don't need to clean your chainrings, cassette, or jockey wheels? You don't need to clean black smudges from fingers and calves when there's incidental contact? I've tried "occasional oiling of the chain" - it sucked.
Shockingly, it seems that we live in different conditions, ride bikes in different manners, and have different best fit solutions.

I have long considered that if I ever get a tattoo, it will be a half chainring print on the inside of my right calf.

Booster has me down. TheraFlu. The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast. Even my arm is sore, which did not happen with I & II. Might be the day to finally organize some of my recipe collection.

Got 8-10 inches of snow overnight. Spent almost two hours shoveling this morning - fun times. Gotta digest breakfast and get my ass on the trainer since I didn't Strava the shoveling to count it towards my CTL.

Good friend of mine posted this on FB today. I swear, as strange as this may seem, this is real, and one day you will get there.

I save myself the trouble of replacing chains every year by having so many bikes that none of them gets ridden more than 2000 miles in a year.

The farm where we were supposed to have our company party this evening canceled. Heated party tents and 60 mph wind gusts don’t play nice together.
