So Long Old Bean..

My numero uno Riding Shorts have finally bit the dust after nigh on three years of heavy use. a small tear happened in the inner thigh, then that hole got hooked up on my seat. yaddah yaddah yaddah I need some new shorts. I loved my old shorts. We went through a lot together, saw lots of sights, rode lots of Kms, some great events and tonnes of very good times. sigh.

I hit out today and timed my ride perfectly. It rained the entire time I was on the bike. I wore my pair of these.. I bought them to do the whaka 100 in, didn't end up doing it and so havn't worn them in anger. I don't think I've ever been more comfortable on a bike in inclement weather. coupled with This Guy up top I was sitting pretty.Lovely. Realistically think I prolly looked like a sack of cookie dough tied in the middle with wire, but meh. I had a great ride.. was that a product reveiw? jeez

I changed my stem. who would have thought that 20 stinking ml and five less degree of raise would make all the difference?? I certainly didn't, stinking neophyte that I am. I do now though. I like being faster and less terrified.

Tandem Cyclocross is the future

Push Bikes are so so beautiful

Oh yes, they certainly are

Dear Science is vying for my record of the year. I listened to it three times back to back on the trails yesterday. It really is something special.
