You too. I'll hit you up if we have any bigger rides planned like the Great Western Loop. That probably won't be for another month at least.
As I mentioned, if you are interested in group rides, there's a Tuesday evening ride that leaves from El Camino Bike Shop at 5:00 (fast) and 6:00 (less fast) every week. I think it's starting up again tomorrow. |

66 degrees outside. My commute's going to start getting messy with people. On the plus side it's time to start planning for some long trips.

but I did get to try out the Garmin 500, which rocks and it told me I'm horribly out of shape. The tires also held up very well! |

I have a 700x21 road bike tire has been hanging in the garage. WHen I first acquired it, the tire was a bit wonky so I thought maybe it will straighten itself out. Its been a year later and its still very out of shape. The diameter is consistent but if you look at it from the front (streamlined view), it goes side to side, and some parts of the tire flare out, some are pinched in.
I don't think its useable, but want to double check if this is normal. I suppose I can work the metal wire. Input? |

a good bike shop should be able to get into good rolling shape in a day for a pretty good price, unless it's bent beyond salvage which it doesn't sound like it is. you can try to true it yourself, but i bet you're going to do more harm than good and that's not meant as an insult to you. i can change cassettes, brakes, mess with derailleurs and if i get a wheel out of true it goes to the shop. |

I think you misread. Talking about the rubber tire and not the metal wheel. |

Nice pic. Did you ride to Dana Point from Vista? What is that 70-80 miles?
How was the Swami's ride? We saw the group coming down Olivnnhain on Saturday when we were heading out to Escondido to ride the dirt. We rode 10 miles out at Daley Ranch with about 2500 ft of climbing. Super fun ride until I went over the bars on a technical section at the end. Nothing bad, just cuts and bruises. Rode another 33 miles on the road with the gf yesterday. Perfect weather all weekend. |

Swami's ride, well I missed the first group. Met up with second group but they were going up to Dana Point. Didn't have my ID.. So I just rode with them to the harbor. Then turned back and just rode down to La Jolla and back. Daily Ranch is really fun!! I crashed a few times out there when I rode mtb! Rode out there a lot with my ex bro n law Pat. The weather was perfect!!! |

Rode to work today and when I got in, at 7:15 am, there were a few people in the lobby all signing in for some bitwig meeting. I proceeded with my normal routine, placed my bike just outside my office and grabbed my clothing and headed for the bathroom. Normally the mens room is vacant... but not today. I walk in and it was a sea of activity which threw me for a loop. I normally get nearly nakked in front of the sinks and take a bird bath since my rides in dont really require a shower.
Today however, I wet some towels in went into the stall a midst some great looks from men in suits. I proceed to get nakked and towel off in the stall when I hear someone come into the one next to mine, spend 5 minutes wiping down the seat and then not use one of those paper seat thingys... I nearly bust out laughing as I get dressed and leave. I don't know why I found it funny but I figured I'd share. |

Does anyone use mid-compact gearing on their road bike? I am thinking of replacing my 53/39 with a 52/38 or similar. I have SRAM Force and am hoping to swap just the chain rings.

most 52/38 set ups are run on 110 bcd, your 53/39 is 130. Just be a man and run 53/39

My buddy's SL3 came with a 52/36 and he said it's awesome. I used to have a 52 on my old steel road bike and it was nice. |
