Don't Look Now

It's snowing again! I waited most of the afternoon for it to warm up a bit and when I got out just before 3 the flakes were already in the air. It was pretty cool for a long ride but I got over to Mission Marsh and ended up with just over 28km. I spent 2 hours on Eyowen on Saturday, cleaning, adding a few links to the chain and running a new rear brake cable. I don't even want to look outside in the morning, guess I'll be hiking it. I'm off to Petrie's for another day of learning in the shop. I'm starting to get more comfortable as I spend more time at it.

Round 2 of Where in the World, a little farther away this time.

Unknown said...: I was scanning over that area trying to find the start of the Munger Trail and recognized the area. However, I didn't know the bridge name.

I shouldn't have been arriving home from work at 1am!; April 21, 2009 at 8:23 a.m.

Done That

From the November issue of Bicycling magazine, these are the Cycling Rites of Passage I have completed.

#6 Bonking so bad you don’t think you’ll be able to make it home

#9 When you hang out at the bike shop and no one expects you to buy anything

#10 When your bike computer registers triple digits for one ride

#15 You try bibs and realize you can never go back to shorts

#20 You get stuck in your pedals and topple over at a stoplight

#26 Wearing out your first set of tires

#27 You ride through a pothole, and it’s no big deal

#29 You stop midride to give your only spare tube to a stranded cyclist

#31 Fixing a busted chain

#34 The first time you crumple your race number

#42 Rolling through a stop sign—and knowing it was the right thing to do

#46 Letting go of your kid’s seat and not having to grab it again

#47 Getting a bike stolen and realizing how deeply it hits you

#48 Cleaning the cassette with your old toothbrush

#53 Telling someone which bike to buy

#56 Figuring out how to layer without overdressing

#58 Your first ride with a jersey instead of a T-shirt

#59 Riding on a day so cold the water in your bottle freezes

#63 Getting so deep into the sport you think your helmet looks good

#64 Following a favorite pro racer—besides Lance Armstrong

#65 Finding out your favorite pro racer was doping

#66 Wrapping your bar tape so the handlebar plug stays in and no bare bar shows at the tricky bend at the brake hood

#72 Crashing and immediately asking, "How’s my bike?"

#84 Riding someplace you’ve always driven

#85 Outsprinting a crazed dog

#87 Waving at a cyclist coming the other way and being ignored

#98 Looking inside the bottle you’ve been using all season, seeing mold

#106 Feeling superstrong, then turning around for the ride back and realizing you had a tailwind.
