I am giving myself a big pat on the back here. I am NOT mechanically in the least. But I changed the stem on my old Bianchi all by my little self. And it took some doing. On an old bike like this you have to take off all the bar tape, remove the brake, slide off the old stem.......then slip on the new stem and put Humpty Dumpty back together again.  

But I managed! Hope this makes it way more comfy to ride. I could not reach the brakes very well before........not sure if my arms shrank or what!!

Nice photos! It would be nice if everyone posted some photos from where they live and train. Even if they are older photos especially since I do most of my riding here lately:

That's cool! Good job! I know you have to be very careful with the amount you tighten a stem.

Good morning everyone. Sorry about being AWOL yesterday, but I was other wise occupied for the entire day.

Spent 50min doing a yoga workout in the morning, but that was the extent of my training. Then it was shopping. Putting away groceries. Entertaining our guest for the day... on of Sweetum's GF's. She stayed over last night to give herself a break from her home life. So, while Sweetum's worked her evening shift, I took our friend shopping... out for a lovely dinner... a visit to Sweetum's work... then home to wait for Sweetum's.

Lovely night with good friend.


You shop?? You PUT away groceries??? What are you some kind of fantasy dude?????

Yes.

I also brought home a bouquet of flowers for her as well. Give her massages on demand. Snuggle. Hold hands. Talk about feelings... and try to cook meals weekly (or weakly).



You do realize that you are not normal right?

In my sorry attempt at training I am off to the pool once again. I did find if I do pull ups from the ladder in the deep end it makes my back feel better. Some kind of traction to my spine!

Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Mojo11 - 2010-01-16 10:26 AM Quiet in here today.  Just got back from my ride - went just over 50 miles in 3 hours.  The trail was beautiful - 29 miles one way thru some beautiful terrain.  Didnt see another soul for the first 25 miles - stopped briefly to refuel and headed back.  Saw a lot of turkeys long the way, 2 BIG otters a couple llamas and an unidentified creature that crossed the trail a few hundred yards ahead of me - couldnt tell what it was.  I took a few pics but need to figure out how to upload them - will upload them later.



Sounds like a beautiful day to be in Florida.  Nice ride

Ok... this is my first attempt at posting pictures in a forum. Not sure how this is going to work... so bare with me.

 

On the trainer in the garage.

eta... that didn't go so well.... hmmmmm.

Until I can get this figured out... here's the link to my album... me on the bike and a picture of the bouquet I brought home for Sweetums.

Trainer riding in garage

Bouquet for my love.
