    Well, i managed to get out for a ride. i was just short of kicking my own [censored] out the door,
    but i did it.

    Course, i have been off the bike for... gawd, i can't remember how long. long enough that i lost 15
    pounds of muscle mass anyway.

    So anyway, i managed what i believe to be a great ride. sure, it wasn't long, but it was 3 times
    longer than what i expected to do. And the endorphins left over after the ride, amazing. gotta be
    the best high there is.

    But it wasn't until i got back to the car i noticed a "tink tink tink" that came every wheel
    revolution. i knew before checking. broke yet another spoke. ahh well, i bought a handful the last
    LBS visit, so i am set there. it's gotta be the hub, cause i highly doubt that i ran into 15 - 20
    that just happened to have weak L bends. but there are no burrs, or sharp edges on the hub holes.
    baffles even the LBS wrench. he noted though that perhaps i would be better off with a higher gage
    spoke when i go for a wheel upgrade. should be worth a shot. after all, i ain't no feather-weight.

    That's what its all about. A few guys went to extra effort to get that rig under you; get out on it
    more often! Its not like a short ride takes that much time out of the day.

    perfectly understandable, i just haven't had much motivation to do anything lately. it is a fight to
    even make lunch sometimes.

    But, hopefully the memory of this ride will be enough to make me want to ride tomorrow, and the next
    day, and so on.

    it was actually a spelling error pre-conversion. but you are the first to even take note of it. i
    expected at least "what does that read", "why do you feel the need to have a 12 line sig". but, i'll
    settle for a remark on the spelling.

    it was actually a spelling error pre-conversion. but you are the first to even take note of it.
    i expected at least "what does that read", "why do you feel the need to have a 12 line sig".
    but, i'll settle for a remark on the spelling.

    it was actually a spelling error pre-conversion. but you are the first to even take note of it.
    i expected at least "what does that read", "why do you feel the need to have a 12 line sig".
    but, i'll settle for a remark on the spelling.

    a simple 5 work phrase best describes it. "to make you ask questions."

    That's what it's about. Actually, that's what doing anything enjoyable is about, isn't it? It's
    either that or we take you out the back and shoot you for being such a miserable sod.

    Lazy it seems to me. I was off my bike for 7 weeks due to a snapped X3 collar- bone. Just street
    riding for now and hope to be back on the singletrack by October. Its going to be a long recovery up
    to 18 months. Just for the bone to heal complete like fill in the gaps. The lump isn't to bad, only
    to feel. But I do ride to work every day you I could walk its only 4 miles round trip. I use to walk
    it with grandkid in tow.
