Shouldn't you replace your helmet every year or so? Isn't it important for, uh, safety or something like that?
I want
this. It would go
perfectly with my bike Buttercup.
Michellie Jones wears one, don't I deserve one too?
I just want to go on the record that I truly hate the March issue of
Inside Triathlon. It's a gear guide that has me salivating.
And don't I need some new wheels too? How much would some extra speed cost? Their cheapest ones listed are $1300 per pair. Sigh.
I did order some new
multi-lens cycling sunglasses on sale ($20) today (I'd like some fancier ones but I just keep breaking them), as well as a new saddle, a
Selle Italia Lady Gel Flow on sale for $80. I've had continual saddle problems for the last 3000-some miles, despite trying numerous models and making various fitting adjustments. I'm hoping some denser gel in a higher-quality leather saddle will fix it. Please.
Although I did conclude that only a guy would name a bike saddle
Flow. Flow, whether light or heavy, is not a positive image for women when thinking about their bike saddle. Don't get me started ranting about the cycling industry. . . .
Seen alongside my old saddle (below), it's quite similar, but I'm hoping that it will redistribute the forces in a slightly more comfortable way with denser gel over a slightly surface larger area. *fingers crossed*
Elisabeth loves my old helmet. Maybe I shouldn't buy a new one quite yet.
Catherine enjoyed some corn on the cob with gusto last night. It was some of that new pre-packaged pre-washed microwave-in-the-bag stuff. Quick and easy to fix, certainly, but it tasted weirdly too sugary to me. I'll try nuking regular corn-on-the-cob the next time instead.
