I approve this plan, as Shirlington and Crystal City are both on my way home

You shouldn’t cycle with your lips,
Try using your hands, feet, and hips!
What do I recommend?
Everything Balm is my friend!
You’ll find other salves it outstrips.

I felt the same way after my one and only Friday coffee club visit.

Oh no, is it like that? I was thinking of going next week. Although probably no one will be there next week, come to think of it, since everyone will take the week off. Then all the people that aren’t there won’t talk to me!

Oh that’s terrible! I’m comforting my little kitten now because that almost killed him. (on the upside, little kitten tears are tasty!)

LOL!

It’s true, my delicate and flowerlike feelings are crushed. I will probably never speak to anyone in public again.

WOE.

Actually the woe came right after that, when my chain fell off on That Damn Hill AGAIN. Fortunately my phone battery died while I was making the final ascent in the Death Zone, so Strava will not know my shame.

Me: outside Caribou Coffee in Shirlington looking sweaty on my Fredly MTB.

You: looking cool on your Pinarello with your full Cervelo kit and a Bike Arlington reflective band.

Me: “Hi, Bike Arlington person!”

You: “…”

Me: , slinking away all rejectified.

May I recommend just shaving your head while you’ve got the razor out?
Cheers.

Don’t tempt me. It’s going to be a billionty degrees tomorrow.

Ugh. Being that cheerful would make me lose my breakfast.

Don’t worry, it wore off

That only works with the early-riser types (people who are out at 7:00 a.m. during vacation are nutso). Afternoon would yield much different results.

Oh yeah. No shot at that happening in the afternoon. I’m totes getting an Air Zound so I can just vaporize them with a sonic blast.

I had an epiphany today on the ride in – my seat is too low!

Explains why I can’t figure out where to sit on it, because at its current height I need to practically be behind it to get full extension.

Soon to be falling over at a stoplight near you…

Now I just need to figure out why my left foot goes numb when I ride :p

I was practicing being cheerful today on my commute and discovered that for bell-immune tourists an extra-extra-cheerful “Excuse me! Thank you! Good morning!” got good results Some of them even said good morning back!

I had a good cyclist pass call ratio today too, so thanks to all of you that passed me and called it

Isn’t analyzing data fun? Now think about throwing in heart rate, cadence, and power too!

Which kind of power meter reads negative numbers?

[KelOnWheels]

Is that why my front brake sounds like a screaming banshee? I need to clean my rims?

I’ve gotta take the Tank over to the co-op this weekend anyway, my chain keeps falling off when I try to shift to the small chainring. But only on hills.

OK, looking at the speed graph on Strava is hilarious. Apparently I am in invisible stop & go traffic the whole way!

[KelOnWheels]

Woohoo! I am the queen of my commute! Rarr! (Well I would be, if I’d entered a segment for it.) (OK, NOW I’m the queen!)

That was nice of Strava to deduct the time when I had to stop and chase my taillight down the MVT

Pretty sure I must have burned at least 4 million calories though. Strava’s way off!

Swans can be quite vicious, and they’re pretty strong. Poor guy
