Well I guess its official, either because of the novelty of a new bike or because I am tired of skating, but the fact is, I like riding more than skating. I woke up this morning and thought to myself: "well my plan is skate a 42k... I really don't want to... but I sure wouldn't mind doing a nice 80k ride".
So instead I spent about half an hour reading up on Eric Gee (see what I'm reading on the right) bike of doom and then the guy in Winnipeg (Steve) who started this Bike of Doom thing. Actually I think in good weather skates make more sense than a bike of doom, but it occurs to me, when the weather starts to get ugly a bike of doom would be perfect for the trips out to the supermarket. Well at least I have a new pet project, learn all the gory details about proper bike repair so that when I do get my POS winter crappy tire special I can keep it operational through the season. (And when I finally get my new Ultegra group it sure would be nice if I did the Coppi overhaul myself.)
I should join a bike club.
Anyway I have a ton of house cleaning to do, and I ought to go clean my skate bearings... ugh! Maybe I can go persuade one of the neighbours to come over and have a beer with me, I'd much rather sit on the pile of broken skids in the front yard and lament the slow pace of the landscapers than clean bearings.
