10,000 miles to a new bike
Submitted by osg on Wed, 2010/02/10 - 23:17I decided today that I would allow myself a new bike after I bike 10,000 miles on my current carbon bike that I have had for just over a year. That way, I will get a pretty good idea of the type of bike that I want next, and it will keep me from blowing 8K for the sake of greed.
10,000 - 22.81 = 9977.19 miles to go
See! I already accomplished something.
a mistake to ride my bf's bike
Submitted by osg on Sun, 2010/02/07 - 21:52The titanium bike is obviously fitted for him. Yet, when I got on it and went, ALL of my power went to the pavement. I am so jealous. The bike just takes all the power and uses every ounce. My carbon is nice, but damn that was a treat! It's a Seven custom job. Fuck, why did I do that?
the life of my 105s
Submitted by osg on Sun, 2010/01/31 - 21:41I have approximately 3,000 miles on my 105 components as of today. The cassette is a newer cassette and will probably have more life in it than the other components. At most, I estimate that I put 500 - 750 miles on that old cassette before swapping it out.
Why blog about this?
In a year or two, I can come back to this post and track the age of my parts.
Scott climbs the Headlands
Submitted by osg on Sun, 2010/01/31 - 15:35It was Scott's first ascent up the Headlands.
It was a beautiful day for a ride and there is still some weekend left because we kept it short.
back in the saddle
Submitted by osg on Wed, 2010/01/27 - 09:12Arun and I were back in the saddle this morning on our usual easy ride out to the ocean and back. It's nice to be back in the saddle. I noticed bison for the first time in Golden Gate Park!
