ya-fucking-hoo

Finally picked up the rebuilt trek this weekend and took it for a spin this morning. 

Looking good!

It was a decent ride but the gears were slipping a bit which took some of the fun out of it.  So did worrying about riding a Madone for a normal commute but I think I'll get over that eventually considering I saw a delivery guy riding the same thing yesterday.

Not a bad looking bike though, even with most of the old components still usable.  The chain, bottom bracket, brakes, and seat cap are all new, everything else was on the old bike.  Ultimately I took the bike in for a tuneup, and two months & $440 later I have a new ride. 

One more reason to look forward to riding home tonite.

Dammit

I am sometimes dumb enough to take the train to work. After last nights wet ride today was one of those days. Of course as I'm trying to call it a week the sun is out and the red line only has 'delayed delayed delayed' as status reports for the next three trains.

The lesson as always? Ride your damn bike. So bring on my plans for tonite. 

That beer is going to taste good. Happy motherfucking friday.

Wet

Ugh. I came down with a bad case of "fuck-this-I'm-riding-home" a little early today, and ride home I did. Nice and wet the entire way, just in time to walk the dog once the rain stopped. Good times.
