Drama in the Morning

Nothing like riding to work in a snow storm...

Lunch Ride One Week After Groundhog's Day

I do some of my best thinking on the bike... worked up a solution to a vexing work problem during the ride. Celebrated such with a couple photos.

Short Term Gain vs Long Term Pain

For those extended days in the saddle (especially indoors) a generous helping of chamois creme on the nethers is essential.



Turning the jar around, however, I gotta wonder about the longer term consequences using this for main-taint-nance.



I think I'll look for something with natural ingredients (DZNuts? Mad Alchemy?)

Rule 41

According to the Official Rules of the Euro Cyclist:

"Naked black ALL CARBON water bottle cages (manufactured by ELITE CAGES) shall be used on ALL BIKES. Exceptions include: i) Special edition 24k gold cages, acceptable in certain cases such as photo shoots, prologues or where colour coordination dictates (e.g. gold cage with Olympic gold/white team kit)."

In the spirit of the rule, and in conjunction with a killer deal on Bonktown, I sought to bring my bike into compliance, albeit with Cutter cages instead of ELITE. Still, the results speak for themselves: carbon cages belong on carbon bikes.

Groundhog's Day Ride

As if I needed an excuse to get out for a ride at lunch...
