Getting cooler

I'm not getting any cooler. I am what I am. The weather sure is though, and it's been great. Albeit rainy, this week has been pretty comfortable with temperatures dropping down into the 60's at night and maxing out in the mid 80's during the day. Not a lot planned for this weekend though I do hope to get out and put some miles on the road bike. Wouldn't mind riding a little dirt as well, but we shall see.

Today's Yehuda Moon

I rode to work this morning. I can relate to this Yehuda Moon comic. Though I don't usually fight traffic on the ride in to work; the ride home is a different story.

Relating to Yehuda Moon comics

Been following Yehuda Moon for a while now and can definitely relate the piece above. I got a call yesterday from the bike shop saying that my new Lefty (Lefty Speed Carbon XLR) has arrived and they offered me my choice of stem-steerer technology. Apparently the older style System Integration (SI) stem-steerer has quite a long lead time, whereas the new One Piece Integration (OPI) stem is the latest design, lighter, and readily available. I chose the newer OPI unit. Though, their "one piece integration" actually consists of two pieces. We'll see... I just want my damn frame and fork back so I can build it up and ride once again.
