Nice rides Chris and Bryant! Me - just got back from my 25 mile loop. Windy and pretty cool, but a good pace ride. Didn't want to push too hard since the plan is to ride into work again tomorrow and I need to be better at working back up to speed. Edit - definitely in a for a jersey and it'd be sweet if Ed could be bribed into cooking something up. Wouldn't mind spending a bit more to get a decent piece as well, $30 seems, well a bit too cheap?

Sorry for your loss, Dan. Sounds like you have some great memories even without the pictures.

You clearly need more business related expenses, Justin. Like, I dunno, maybe a Lambo or two?

Sadly it's not looking very good for me right now. My copilot had to bail out, stupid vacation, and I'm not sure I'm up for doing the 10hr drive in one day and staying down has been ruled out.

This.

Strikes me way too much like a Timex Indiglo watch.

Vicki, I saw that and thought of you. Every Kirk is a one-off original, I wouldn't sweat that you aren't getting a badge on yours or some never to be duplicated whatever bits.

Serious ouch.

Great ride and nice rack!

I used a 2U Lansing for my KGSS and also used larger than stock heat sinks and they fit just fine, with a little planning. There's probably only a 1/4" between the top of the sinks and the lid.

Brent, I use a program to do a screen capture of the data, nothing fancy.

Took it much easier on the way home. My average heart rate dropped 15bpm and my max was lower than my average from the commute in. Still managed a nice pace courtesy of a slight tail wind for the flatter section at the beginning of the ride. Raffy would faint if he saw the HR data for the way in this morning.

Heh, I had to dodge 4 turkeys on the way in this morning.

Nice Brent. Me: restarted the commute to work program for 2013. Left a little late and consequently pushed quite a bit harder than I wanted to for a ride this early in the season. Cranked a 19mph pace for the 20mi ride. Hopefully I can cruise a litte more comfortably on the way home and it'll be nearly 30 degrees warmer on the way home too. So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

This. I had the kids solo for most of the weekend (the wife was ill) and it is during times like this that I often think that single parents, the good ones anyway, are more remarkable than they get credit for. Enjoy your time away too, Stephen, and don't dwell on what you're not doing next weekend.

Shit Ken, that sucks. Glad to hear that her head is ok though, the rest should heal up given time.

A very happy birthday to each of you!

I'm jealous.

Cue aerius... Mine are pretty quiet too, definitely not silent but nothing that I care about.

It's about to go mud season here, where the combination of the ground thawing and melting snow turns everything into a goopy mess. So I'd guess, depending on how wet the next few weeks are, that I'm a good month away from being able to ride off road.

Best I can tell is that every day Flickr chooses the top 500 most interesting (as defined by them) pictures to highlight. So if you go to Flickr.com and click explore at the top you'll see today's "explored images". So in a nutshell Ari's photo was badass enough to be one of the best/most popular/discussed/shared/or other images of the day. Tres cool in my book.

This. I can't wait to get the MTB out again.

Very nice shot, Ari.

Looking very cool, Vicki. I can't imagine the excitement/anticipation. Me: got out for a nice 25ish mile ride after work today. It was windy but I managed a decent pace and felt pretty good. Temps over the weekend and into early next week are supposed to get into the low 60s which would be outstanding. I'm hoping that next week I'll get my first ride into work.
