Going Long and Hard.

Sunday was a Gym Day followed by an evening of dealing with my youngest crashing my wife’s car.

The guy that hit him tried to get him to just give him cash so he wouldn’t have to call the cops and insurance etc. The kid didn’t know what to do and called my wife and I to drive over and talk to the guy. We did. I immediately recognized this was a dude with no license trying to get one over so we pretended to go away to talk about, but we were really calling the cops. They were there before the dude figured out what was going and bam, no liscense, no insurance, no registration. Another cop showed up. Then another. Car was probably stolen too, we didn’t stick around for that part. Our car has a cracked bumper cover and headlight so not really a big deal. Kid was OK. Second time this year that car was hit by a non legal. Last time the guy tried to run and there was a cop in the car ahead and saw everything, but the dude got away and the car wasn’t drivable or fixable by us.

Anywho.

Commute today on a Vado I cobbled together out of random Warranty parts. Got yelled at all day today for the first time in a while, except for one guy.

Got stuck late doing a Hand Cycle Fit for a lady but the ride home was awesome and now life is good.

Couple more days of Vado’ing to work. Added some big platform pedals to work better with sneakers and refreshed the Firmware and Default Settings.

Went through the shop ride yesterday on my home which is always fun. Some punk was like “oh yeah, let’s see you ride off the front without a E-Bike”

I was like “you don’t know who the fuck you’re talking to son, I’ll ride your punk ass off my wheel on any bike I own”

We’re having a good time.

Day off the bike so the fam can take advantage of the last few weeks we’ll have before school and my wife goes back to work.

Yes, somehow (the mailman probably) my kids are both over 6 foot.

Do you lock your bike up a lot? I'm paranoid about angle grinder thieves. I know Litelock/Hiplock, but I didn't want to carry that around. Foldable locks make sense, but then angle grinders.

It’s locked in the picture by the front wheel. I have that foldy Kryptonite, it bolts to the water bottle boss so it’s not bad to carry. We’re not in an angle grinder kind of area so it’s more than enough. I think.

Felt pretty good out there, just doing random base miles. First longer ride with the Reeby. I’m gonna try to mod it again but it doesn’t quite have the small bump sensitivity it needs to be truly useful at this point. I think I need a blue Debonair shaft, or maybe just Finishline the seals to make it more sensitive? IDK, but I know I want a fork on this bike that’s for sure.

Took the 1/4 mile Multi-million dollar waste of money bike path into work this morning 😂

Yet another Summit cycling project shut down by the NIMBYs. Although these are the poor NIMBYs that live at the bottom of the hill and sweep the floors of the rich NIMBYs that got Watchung shut down.

NIMBY.

Got caught up leaving work and almost missed the Farmer’s Market but they were still there. Filled my whole bag up with Cucumbers for Kevin.

The last flood pulled dirt up onto the bike path in Plainfield so now it’s cooler.

Recovery Day all together today. Definitely needed it. Started dropping my Summer weight, because my season is backwards 😂

3 and change weeks out from Endless Mountains. My team mate Matt is Registered so it’ll be nice seeing him at the start, and then never again. He’ll probably ride it straight through but that shit’s bananas. I’m packing a bit heavy and planning on 3 days. Gonna bring my actual Bivy and sleeping bag instead of my ultralight setup. Work has been eating dicks so I want to maximize my days off 🤷
