My Bicycle Musings

Sunday it is. Did a loop around the lake today, including a little off-road dirt pathy-type riding. This was on the Jamis. Rode around the lake, then back again. Par usual, when I tried to shift into granny for the VERY steep path from the perimeter road up to street level, the fabulous SIS dumps the chain. So I walked it up the hill, shifted it, road back DOWN the hill path, then back UP the hill path, much to the amazement of various pedestrians.

Yesterday I rode about ten miles going to THREE different Postal Offices to find stamps. Finally got them in San Carlos. Went home and mailed some Xmas cards.

Also stopped by Performance, as I KNOW Myrick is going to ask me Monday if I did. Of course the seat post hasn't slipped all week. The guy suggested "dimpling" the post with a punch so it would have better bite in the clamp area. He asked about the "The Selector" t-shirt I was wearing. I told him about getting it at Soma a couple years or so ago. I was trying to tell him the other bands that were there, but of course senility struck. Now I remember: The Toasters, and Big Time Operator, I think was the third band.
