Insert your windows installation disk. Never mind that it’s a phone. Figure it out.
No compromises.

About 8 years ago I had my Achilles’ tendon reconstructed after a major collapse while cycling. I have had poor circulation around it from the beginning. My Type 1 diabetes probably doesn’t help either. StephieHell thinks it is funny when I have to wear an old man compression sock occasionally. You guys can hold judgement until you see me watering the lawn this summer.
Our man Lennard Zinn checked in this morning after testing course conditions in Verona, Wisconsin, on Thursday.
I am sure we will have a complete analysis of snow/dirt compound conditions in relation to spoke tension and tire pressure coming soon. Probably face plant orthotics too.

OMG!
Stephiehell is almost home after hanging out with her awesome friend at Saigon in St Paul. I have Pho on it’s way. Yep I am gettting the tripe, tendon, eye of round, brisket, beef meat ball pho. Yum!!!!
One thing that really bugs me.
People putting real track bikes (not fixie/single speed road bikes) in street, forest, beach, industrial setting photos. Anyone who actually races on a velodrome understands the sanctity of OCD completely clean tires and bikes. Nothing sexy about thinking of the broken collar bones, slivers (for wood tracks), broken pelvises, serious head injury, or huge raspberries on concrete/asphalt tracks caused by debris put on the track by bikes with dirty wheels (not necessarily in that order of concern). Track bikes are sexy in their own environment, leave it in the velodrome.
St. Paul getting serious about people shoveling the snow from their sidewalks. 3 people and a CAT makes for an expensive way for the neighbor’s sidewalk to be cleared.
Early ’80s Minneapolis was so cool.
Kurt and Krist sleeping on Sluggo’s floor after a Boston show in ‘89 shortly before they became famous. JJ Gonson took the photo. No clue where Jason Everman and some drummer from the Melvins were sleeping.
Made in America: How Chris King, the coolest bike part maker in the USA, stays uncorporate and fiercely green. http://adv-jour.nl/YM90K1
fuckin badass.
I found a source for some PD-64 cleats for my Dura-Ace 7400 pedals (a fave of track racers in the ’90s) mine have custom made 2 strap clips. I have a spare Suntour Superbe Pro 165mm crankset if anyone needs them.
Think Progress: Women deserve better than this.
Travis Waldron at ThinkProgress explains Brent Musburger, Katherine Webb, and football’s culture toward women:
Painting Webb as merely a perk of the job, as nothing more than the Alabama beauty queen dating the quarterback of the Crimson Tide, only enables that culture. It’s a culture…
Exactly what I thought when I heard Musberger say that crap last night. What an asshole.
Winter commuter drive train overhaul starts tomorrow (the Sugino box is the d-600 crankset 46-36-26) . JIS UN-54 BB, stem, h-bars, cables (brake and shifter) and grips not shown. Sticking with my old Shimano XT 7/8 speed thumbshifters/drivetrain allows me to switch to friction shifting should I mess up my derailleurs and keeps the price on new parts low, which is huge since I actually have to pay for them now. The toughest thing may be cleaning the grime off my bike.
Seriously…
…if you mention any sleep disorder you might be suffering from I am going to give you an ear/eye full. My sleep doctor, Dr. Mark Mahowald, discovered REM sleep. Due to curiosity of sleep disorders, due to my own, I went to MCTC to get certification as a sleep tech (the only place in the U.S. you could get this). You would be completely amazed by how much we can tell about you by reading your ECG and EKG’s while you sleep…and you really don’t want to know what you are physically do while sleeping. I do guarantee that a sleep study may be the best medical test you will ever take.
