Slim,

I have a Serfas RX saddle.  Check it out, very comfortable!  I\'d post the link if i knew how.

I tried to pull something together this week.  But the 22 miles from home to work is too much for a doughy b like me.  It would have worked if they would let me take the train from Mlfd to Bpt (11 minutes), would have cut the commute down to 9 miles.  But Metro North has a no bike rule during peak hours.

So fuck the earth, and fuck bike week


Just heard this morning that Gov. Rell is pushing Metro North to have bike storage on the new trains for next year, and to allow commuters to bring a bike onboard during peak hours.

I think I spoke too soon.  I kid I work with told me that the route I\'d take from the train to work is 9 miles up hill.  I may need to take a test ride some weekend.

What is the dress code at your work?  My place is casual so I can roll up sweaty in shorts (which I did today).

Don\'t shoot the messenger it\'s not his fault...
It\'s just a drag when you\'re the last one to know.
