The most exciting part of my day so far.... Plugging in a different monitor to my laptop and Windows decides to move all the icons over to the right. WHYYYYYYYY WHYYYYYYYYYYYY :panic:


I think its time for another coffee.

Jetwash?

I am not ready for this cold, yet. I'll be riding through the winter in shorts and in shorts/tights when temps drop below 20s, but I am not adjusted just yet.

I'm not ready either. Last nights ride was an eye-opener. I had to switch gloves mid-ride. My toes were definitely cold at the end, but then again I was riding on pavement last night, so I was going double the speed that I normally do on single track. Tonight I will try my luck with some knee high rasta motocross socks :brows:

I rode in this morning. First time since my unpleasant ride in the freezing monsoon last Monday. I feel about a gear slower/less powerful with flats. Part of that is probably placebo, part my heavier normal shoes vs my Sidis, and part true effect.

The problem is that all I can do is perceive how fast I am on a given day. Placebo is just as real as anything measurable given that my perception is my only tool.

I am good with customers. I generally like my customers. Currently, it is my co-workers that piss me off.
might i suggest being a route driver for your favorite adult beverage company.

I love riding flats to work so I can wear whatever shoes I want but as we have talked about I also have a lot of stop and go in NYC traffic. If I did not I would top to spd I think.

Shopping for a new winter jacket to replace my Patagonia Das Parka which is falling apart. So far this is high on the list

He he some truth to that. Its because I tighten it around the waste and when the fabric starts bending it will wear through. They put new material over this spot once but it's worn out again.
