Minutiae

  • I think I found a WP template that I am going to modify to create the template for this site. Pretty cool.
  • Offseason project #1: pursuit bike. No question about this.
  • Offseason project #2: single-speed mountain bike? Many questions about this -- need? 26" or 29"? Mix of the two? Huh.
  • I still owe a write-up on the Critical Mass stupidity.
  • Also, I choke down way too many pills every day. Last count? Eighteen. A dozen and a half pills. All in the name of better health and more optimum performance. (Yes, everything's legal and above-board.)

Quick Update

  • I still owe an update on Critical Mass. I know. It's forthcoming. Along with some photos, and probably a small rant about the police state America's becoming.
  • The GPS flaked during Crit Mass, of course, so I won't be posting the route. In addition, I decided to bail out on the ride early, because it was stupid.
  • This is one of those ads that really surprised me. Miller's not my usual beer, but this put a smile on my face:

Thoughts on GPS

First and foremost, someone needs to make a much more intuitive GPS device than my Garmin Forerunner 205. Perhaps I'm spoiled by the innate simplicity of things like my iPod, but the UI on this thing is driving me bugshit. It's like trying to fly the space shuttle, complete with lo-res displays and early 80's game watch beeping. Ah, well -- I'll figure it out.

You'll notice I've added a routes page. I'll be riding Criminal Critical Mass tonight (sans costume), and will post the route and pictures here, with my thoughts on the whole matter either tonight or tomorrow.
