Today rode my ungeared coker really fast ! (Faster than I've ever

there were stoplights in there... and no, they aren't part of the
average! )


You might *someday *reach mine and Madison speed record.

I rolling hopped up 2.3 feet onto this thin guard rail then jumped to
this box behind it. It looks cooler in person than I can describe it.

How fast do you claim to ride, Hazmat? Wasn't your speed record on that
custom 40" you made? Thats not fair against a 36' wheel.

I don't remember what his was, but my current record on my 36'er is a
quarter mile or so sprint of 23.5mph on a downhill, on flat he
definitely has me beat I've only ever reached sprints of 19mph on
flat(he being Chuck)

Today I wrote two finals, finished a final project for GIS, hired 9
people, turned down 3, gave blood, had a fight with my boss, discussed
my academic future with the department head, towed two people out of a
mud hole, got my house mate a ride to Saskatoon, Got a couple leads on
a new cook, started the process for getting a foreign worker a visa to
come work for me here in Canada, spent way to long in the school
computer room, and sold a bike.

Unfortunately I never got out unicycing. It was raining anyway.

gah, I am looking forward to the weekend but then I need to help make
sure that my own ring ceremony (convocation) goes smoothly.

Looking forward to the end of the month.

Today I rode 26 miles without a dismount or dab. My previous record was
24 miles. I don't know why I chose to do it *today* though. I had just
put 114mm cranks on the Coker for the first time; first-ever riding my
Coker with cranks shorter than 125. It felt great for the first few
miles, I realized I'd gotten pretty far without even wanting to stop,
so went for it.

But after a couple of weeks of only riding the Schlumpf 36er with 150mm
cranks, my legs weren't used to all that pedaling and after a while my
calves started to spasm. Plus my air seat, which I thought was so
great, isn't so great for non-stop riding. The last few miles were a
bit of torture. When my cyclometer hit 26.00 miles I immediately
stopped and waited to see if I would cramp up there and then (7 miles
from home). Fortunately not, but the rest of the ride was hard as well.
Only one more dismount, at a light, followed by an unexpected one about
1/2 mile from my house, when my calves just suddenly started turning on
and off randomly. I finished the ride though and now we'll see what the
calves feel like tomorrow...
