Brought the roubaix with me on vacation. Unpacked it only to find the rear hub is pooched. Thankfully there was a reputable shop within ten minutes and they were open Sunday. It's already fixed and I'll get it tomorrow morning.

Did 18 miles with the kids today.  My oldest lost the tip of a presta valve, and ended up walking 2 miles to a place where I could pick him up in the car.  Otherwise, a good ride.  I did it on my old school nishiki.

Did 15 on Friday and 28 yesterday. No humidity and nice temps. The only drawback was the number of people on the road. But not up Ross though :)

Wanted to go out for a run today, but legs weren't up for since I ran the last two days, so I finally got out on the road bike for the first time in the PNW.  Really nice day, and was a quite fun 16 miles on local trails, except for that stupid hill at the end.  I am pretty sure that the Cervelo I borrowed from Jeff a few weeks back had acme rocket boosters built in or something.

1400 ft of climbing is killer for my fitness level :)

 

do we know how many feet it really is? i think some of our results were around 1400, or 2000, or 800..was all over the place

Definitely up for another Lake House Ride.  Might even try to the throw the Kayak on the roof for some after ride rowing.

Holy crap. Who put those wheels on that bike?

I finished building up my 99 fsr today. XTR rear XT front and shifters. I still need to rebuild the rockshox Judy fork, but it's rideable:

That Trek probably wouldn't be too bad. I would bet it is closer to 24-25lbs, and should have 700c wheels (Matrix rims, 15g stainless spokes, Sansin sealed bearing hubs). Probably a 1990. Indexed 7 speed as well, for those that don't do friction. Looks like it would clean up quite nicely, but you would want to do a complete tear-down.

I am surprised that I have not heard that Ari is in town to race in the Brompton National Championships this weekend.  You saving yourself for the world's?

They don't fold up nearly as small/cleanly/quickly.

 

BikeFriday is pretty cool. 

They do not fold as small as the Brompton, but are said to ride better.

Folding small is important to me. I'l get a big-wheel road bike for long rides one of these days.
