Lousy week of riding for me. Did 16mi on my SS MTB on Monday, but haven't been on able to get out again, and won't be able to until Saturday morning (I hope). My daughter's travel softball team has started up for their fall season, and it dictates everything. Tonight, I'm going to try to get my Zwift rig set up again so I can squeeze in some pedal-turning a little more often.

I put up a notice on my book face page, that I would remove people for being overly political. It was great.. I'm down to a couple of clubs and my daughter and grandkids and a couple guys from work. Even people in my riding circle didnt survive the pandemic politics. No stress on my page.

My dad had a Corvair van parked in the backyard of our house for a while. I never saw it actually run, and it was eventually hauled off. I think I've only seen 1 or 2 of them on the road since. A neighbor had a convertible. I thought it was pretty cool.

I think my wife is done with the road and fine with giving up her bikes. We had those two cyclists get killed on South Boulder Road within two miles of each other. She got spooked and I also got spooked there for a while. She's gone to MTB.

Yeah, I need to update mine, it's been asking. Blah! I'm not ready for off season yet. I've had a cross bike for like 9 months...I've never ridden it, lol. I bought it to go gravel grind with my crew. It just doesn't excite me. Zwift is OK but for a hour. Then I'm done. One of my buddies has 16 centuries on zwift this year. That's Friken cray cray yo.

That was the last major project car I did. Well, I did a minor project type thing on a 77 Malibu which I sold to my sister cheap so her son could wreck it.

I got spooked by all the salt built up under the top tube on the Ritchey (which was my Zwifting bike), so I ordered the thru axle adapter for the Kickr Snap I'm using, and I've been using the Canyon as my trainer bike. I'm still waiting for The Younger Boy to buy his new computer so I can steal his old one, and replace the aging laptop I use. I want to cast shadows! I'm not a vampire!

I use a sweat guard covering the TT and stem, and a towel on top of that, and then another towel for mopping my face. I take them all off and hang them to dry after every ride. But all my bikes get salt encrustations under the top tube, whether I ride them IRL or ITG (In The Garage).
