Ghetto workstand. Hey it worked

Bicycle commuting

I rode the shoveldown to see my dad this weekend and the throwout bearing decided it was time to die. So it did. Took the pushrod and the adjuster screw with it. I tweaked it twice to get enough shfts to get home but now its pulled apart and waiting on parts which of course I have to order because there is no decent shop around here.
Hell, the harley shp doesn't even stock master links anymore so I know they don't have a replacement on the shelf.
So anyway, I figure this is the perfect week to start commuting by bicycle. I got by beater mountain bike sorted out this weekend and rode yesterday afternoon. It is not a bad 5 mile ride, except for all the dumptrucks. I only got a little sweaty, but I solved that problem this morning by wearing a tshirt and folding my dress shirt up in my bag.
Today I will get 4 trips / 20 miles in, but I think when I get the motorbike fixed I will ride it in the am so I can go to the gym and take the pedal bike after lunch. Should be a good way to get another 50 miles in a week and not too much of a hassle now that it is cooler out.
2 wheels good.

Doctors appointment

So I went to the doctor for a physical for the first time in at least ten years. Everything went well till he examined my knees. He said I am really glad that you have staryed exercising, but you have need to quit running or you will have serious knee problems at 50.
It is going to be kind of difficult to do triathlons if I can't run...so I guess there goes that.
Of course it was the same day I bought a tri seat off ebay to go with the aerobars I just got sorted the way I want them.

Its Colonel Sanders birthday

So remember, free range is bland. Its the cruelty that makes it so delicious.

I hate my knees

Wanted to go for a 3 mile run this morning but had walk more than half because my knees are hurting. Too much too soon I know, but I was getting comfortable with the 4 mile route and now this is a huge step back. Hammering on the bike every time I go out probably isn't helping either, but I want to build up my speed and I am not very patient.
More walking more swimming I guess. Man I hate the pool.
