I just got a text photo of my guys up in Portland prepping my Dugast tires so I can glue them on tomorrow when I get there. Just got done packing my bike. I have a bunch of extra stuff, so I have to distribute it accordingly. I never like to have my bike bag weight too much. Partially for the $$$, but mainly for the chances of them screwing up my bike. The tend to throw it around way more when it is unwieldy. Okay. Going out to dinner in Del Mar and then it is up to Oregon.

Bill and Jim sealing up my tires.

Quite a miss mix of pipe insulation.

Here's a photo of the new Shimano 980 pedals. These pedals are awesome. It feels like you are riding a fixed road pedal. Crazy stable.

We have unbelieveable sunsets in Kansas, but there is something to be said about the sun setting over the ocean from the top of a hill.

I hate waking up to an alarm clock. This week it is going to happen at least a couple more times. I don’t think it is good for you to be so disturbed when you’re asleep. I know that sounds weird, but I do think so. Anyway, I have to go face a few miles of San Diego morning traffic. I hate that too. But, it shouldn’t be so bad.

Here is a video of a guy that obviously has too much time on his hands, but seems to be having a good time. And he is on a bike.
