Golas and Sons Bicycle Repair

Been thinking a lot about a conversation with Jack B a few weeks ago about dropping the tracking software and taking freer rides because you just... Ride. Not ready to do that yet, but I'm a lot more mindful of going out for a few miles without the expectation to turn that into 15-20. Just over two tonight, party pace. It is not any cooler by the lake this evening.

Red is like a skinny sasquatch. You hear stories he's in these woods, but you never see him.

Well, well after nearly a year of being stubborn, look who decided to wake up today...

When you're asked if you want to go to another ballgame a day after you went to the first one... You say yes. Every time. There's something different about the conversations you have around the season ticket holders, too. They're fully invested in each season - who is coming up in the division, who is falling off, who to watch out for in the east and west. It's like a real time internet thread but with more cursing and occasionally you might get hit with a baseball.

Elvis Night and a crazy game.

Can we have work outside today? Yes. Yes, we can.

Two things. 1) There's an eye catching new road bike that just passed the road test yesterday. This yellow and black Giant (55 mm) was a crazy fun ride yesterday, full Campagnolo group set and definitely a head turner with the colors. 2) While I will die on the hill that "it's the rider, not the bike," I somehow racked up a ton of PR's on the LFT. If it can get my old carcass moving, it'll be even better for a day rider.

Even for a full day of races at Fulton Market, there's glass in the bike lanes...
