Base..how long can you go?

I ended up riding to Piermont on Sunday solo: My legs were tired from the prior days ride so I just ended up rolling slow having a coffee or two and then rolled on home. Barely uttered a word all day other than to compliment/talk with a guy about his Rivendell (original Joe Bell paint with Henry James lugs...Sort of odd that he was not some weird science guy with a weird or hipster type as that seems to be the only people who seem to ride these anymore..). Felt completely out of touch with the world in some ways as I felt comforted by the routine but felt disconnected.

Having been away from the bike for such a long time it was nice to get two very solid days in. Although the distances were not that far on either days (Saturday was a harder day by far) I definately pushed myself...Sunday, even though legs were tired from the get go I kept a decent pace. Love getting those base miles in at the end of the season....

I have been wanting pancakes and eggs for so long...I loved getting pancakes and eggs at 7A. Need to do that soon...

Some other random things: There has been a house cleaning at the office. Done quietly, as it is done every year and then the rebuilding process starts over. Fall is the time in which people are in motion...

eGay: the process of downsizing, minimilizing everything continues. New rule: Nothing new shall be bought unless it is needed (outside of chains and brake pads) as I keep finding parts for "that" project that I never really started/finished. Stuff that I want and stuff that I need is the new litmus test.

That being said, I would not kick out of bed Mike B's new 96'er...Would be awesome XC bike for Blue Marsh...I have not ridden there is so long...I even rode the whole 50 mile loop once on a rigid bike. Pure fast XC ride with twisty bar wide single track looping around a lake. Almost all smooth, just making it plain fast.
