Picked up the bike on Thursday and too it to the ride on Saturday. The ride was to be 70+ miles and when I say the riders and knew I would be riding by myself if I went, I left and did a much shorter distance by myself. Most of the abnormal riders (I normally ride with) were doing the Hotter N Hell in Wichita Falls (10,000 riders). On Sunday I was about 10 mi from the start going up a big hill and shifted to the smallest "chain ring" (one in the front) and the shifter would not then downshift so I rode with 9 gears the rest of the ride - this is much better than 3 and I could at least keep up with the pack as I could spin my legs off and maintain 17mph. Back to the store and they showed me a trick so it would not do that again. I need a new shifter button (not the right term) "naturally for them" as this one is wearing out. Now I don't know why as the bike is just 12 years old and has 60,000 miles on it, well maybe 50,000 but who is counting?
Worked an extra shift on Friday at SeniorMed as they were short a RPh and I have a real good schedule and don't want to mess it up.
Theater time again at Theater 2 and saw "Big Bang". Here is the write up from the Theater 2
"It costs a lot of money to produce a musical on the history of the planet from the Big Bang to the 21st Century! Two ambitious young composers take over a wealthy doctor's New York apartment to give the ultimate audition. Accompanied only by piano, the pair play all of history's icons from Adam and Eve to The Brady Bunch, totally amazing their potential investors."
The potential investors are the audience. 2 performers and 1 piano player. They used parts from the set to "make" the costumes, e.g curtains, table cloths, umbrellas etc. I would see it again but not as many times as "I Love You, Your Perfect, Now change".
Back to work tomorrow just like about everyone else except "Carmel"

17 mph?? are you sure you didn't miss the decimal point and should have said 1.7 mph. better get those glasses checked...only way I can see you ever getting to 17 mph is if your riding with the wind, sail attached to your bike riding in huricane force winds with the big D police force chasing you for that little bit of extra addreline.
Well I have to stick up for the AC/Food provider or he'll shut me off. He really does comfortably ride at 16-18mph (no hills) when all gears are working (no comments here either) and sometimes hits 22-23mph when really pushed. Now downhill the brakes are on at 30mph as he tells me it hurts when the pavements meets skin. Now I think the early post was done by a bicycle commuter and they are a weird bunch themselvs
We might be a weird bunch but just think Dust Bunny with all the Gas/and $$ for parking if he has to pay for that...the AC/Food provider would save by biking to work he could afford to give you the premo cat food..think about it
