Ok, I love my Surly Pacer. Also love my Carradice Barley saddlebag. I've wanted one for a long time, and now that I had it for 1 ride? Should have switched to it a long time ago. I just need to configure it with an easier/faster attachment system. Especially since I'll be switching to the Pacer full time. I don't think I can go back to my Sprint, so I'll be putting that bike out to pasture. We'll see if any places will take it as a donation. However, today I took the bus in to work. Can't remember the last time I didn't ride in. Crazy. I was looking forward to it because I got to do some more reading. Taking the train out to Lemont, since Gabe and family's in town for Rachel and Julio's wedding. Also, Gabe, Sania, Tracy and I are doing the Hell Run tomorrow morning. Haven't trained at all for it. Should be interesting, and muddy. And tiring. Signed up officially for the North Shore Century, even though I haven't done a ride longer than 7 consecutive miles yet. Might only do 50 of those miles, but we'll see. Tracy just plowed through the first 2 seasons of Downton Abbey this week. I'll admin, it's addicting. So weird, and I have to imagine Masterpiece Theater never imagined it would be this popular. I mean, it's Masterpiece Theater.
