    Agree with the nice pics, Ari

     

     

     

    No, I took the Roubaix as the roads are not great and I still need to do a full fitting on the calfee. I did a few rides on the calfee last year, enough to know I needed to change a few things before riding it much more. Now that the weather is turning a bit I'll schedule some time at my shop and get the calfee dialed in.

     

     

    So since I disappeared from the computer for a bit, I seemed to have missed you getting a Calfee.  Care to recap for me?  Congrats!

     

    livewire, I met a guy who started riding at age 65, was over 300 pound at the time, and is now the President of the local riding club where some of us have congregated to for three-day riding fests. He not only does centuries, he could probably kick most of our azzes on one.

     

    Yesterday was the first day I felt good and even a bit strong on the bike.  Did some intervals without dying and upped my watts.  Was waiting outside the Computrainer place at 5:30 this morning, actually motivated to ride, but no one showed to let me in.  Oh well.  Everyone overslept.  I don't think I can do much, if any, actual outside riding on the weekends until my mother leaves at the beginning of next month.  I'm choosing to spend what free time I have with her, which has actually been really good this year, as opposed to former years where I'm really ready to have my home back to myself.  I'd like to get in a least an hour on Saturday and/or Sunday.

    Got the puppy on October 18 and maybe rode for a total of 50 miles between then and a couple weeks.  I've been back every other day for almost two weeks now.  I'm fat and slow all over again.  Oh well.  Other than kicking myself for getting out of shape, it feels really good to be riding again.

     

    I've got a potential buyer for the Gunnar, and I'm keeping the Calfee.

    Just catching up on things.  Sorry about Ozzy.   :(

     

    On the freakishly fun side of petdom, Waton's real sister (confirmed with the breeder) showed up at day care today with Watson.  I'd met the family at a restaurant, and knew they had gotten the sister, but they have a home in North Carolina, one in Denmark, and spend only a little time locally.  I'd never seen her before, and in fact, hadn't even thought about her until today.  Meet Dottie, now renamed Shelby.

    Hmmmm.  Well, apparently, I can't figure out how to post a video from photobucket.  Oh well.  Click on the pic,
