Offbeat Question of the Day
Because the soft sandy ground meant that they could not ride a 1903 era bike? I assume you'd just get bogged down.

I haven't fallen on the road in a while. I posted pics of the damage somewhere around here and it healed up really well. Actually my worst scaring is from a fall on a MTB when riding on the road. God I suck at riding mountain bikes. I really want to get better as I'd love to do the Leadville 100 or the Shenandoah Mountain 100 or similar. I guess I just need to go out an practice but with the population density around here it's hard to find somewhere not incredibly embarassing. Maybe this winter I'll take the bike down to the lake and practice in the two vacant lots behind the house.

Don't worry about it Brent. I suck at mountain bike riding probably worse than you do. I don't know if I'll ever get better as it's hard for me to actually want to go do something where I know I will return injured in some way.

Great that you found something that will likely work. Due to the rain day I rode on the computrainer and did a sufferfest video. God those hurt.

Jeff, sorry about the tire. I didn't really see the damage on the wheel. You would have to know that something had happened to see any marring. You want me to bring more glue dots? I forgot to give you one of my spares.

Those look great. I have to get better at riding MTB. My bike is awesome and I can't ride it worth a darn.

I have been having issues with Tapatalk 4 recently but a full reinstall seems to have cured it.

We can make it hills of maiming instead . I am up for whatever other than going on the trail which will be crazy at that time. There are a lot of route options. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk 4

Well for some reason one of the two mounts on the winder is clicking on almost every rotation. Think I will return it and get a single.

New watch winder/case. Was thinking that I could leave one not rotating but both rotate (Breitling is quartz). Still think it looks pretty good.

Nate, is a powerline based network out of the question? I really like mine. It let me put in a second wifi hotspot very easily.

Vicki, when is Seabring? Have you chosen a seat yet?

And now what did you do TODAY?
Sorry Nate. Good luck with the sleeping.

More is more I just remember being about 13 years old and looking at the Suunto watches at the jewelry store and thinking how cool it was that a watch could measure altitude. If I was still interested in diving then I would be looking at their dive computers which are also awesome.

I'm going to have to work to live up to that or you need a better bucket list

Glad she is doing much better. Our cat used to hate heading to the lake but now she's at home at either location. She still hates the car ride though.

Not bought yet but planning on it... I'm getting my buddy to get me a price. About to order a cheap winder for the Zenith and I will put the Breitling in there too. I have always wanted a Suunto with the barometer so it has to be the Ambit 2 not 2s. I was thinking that for everyday wear it was worth getting the sapphire crystal because I am pretty hard on watches and anal retentive about scratches.

Twice in the last few days I have come one link piece away from losing my Zenith El Primero at the bottom of the lake. I noticed that it was hanging on by a single link piece 2 days ago and I just pushed the pin back in and didn't even think to check for the lock ring... Looked down on my return home today and it was in the same condition again. Fixed it correctly this time (with some spare link parts, going to get more on ebay) but that was almost a very expensive vacation. Yet another excuse to start wearing a Suunto Ambit 2 Sapphire as an everyday watch.

Sorry that happened Nate. My wife would have lost it.

That's a lot of saddle height increase but not unreasonable. Jeff just match the relationship between saddle, handlebars and pedals and you will be great. The Calfee geometry feels amazing
