I DIDN'T Ride My Bike Today, Cuzz....

The Enduro is getting the fork and shock serviced and the brakes bled at my LBS. Should be done tomorrow just in time for Big Bear this weekend :)
The Epic became a fixie when the rear cassette decided to stop freewheeling when I stopped pedaling. Took the rear wheel to my LBS as well. Time for a new freehub :thumbsup:
I love having a LBS I can rely on :inlove:
 
I've seen different labels for those stages - just as apt.

Relative to any change or new skill, a person goes through these stages:
  • Unconscious Incompetence - I don't know what I don't know. All is well. Not knowing, and satisfied. This is the way we do things.
  • Conscious Incompetence - I now know what I don't know, and I'm not good at it. It makes me uncomfortable. (I will emote, resist and possibly reject here)
  • Conscious Competence - I have practiced, and if I am deliberate and think about it, I can do it.
  • Unconscious Competence - It's now ingrained and a part of what I do. I don't even think about it.

Finally! A post that doesn't trigger flashbacks to school! You're a good man, Luis. :thumbsup:

And I'm not going to ride my bike today. Mostly because I'd choke on smoke and ash. And that seems pretty insignificant compared to the people who are really suffering through the fire right now. :unsure:
 
Pretty much seems like the only place to ride these days is out of state with how much smoke there is in the air, quite amazing with how big this state is! Oh well, it’s the norm now. Fire fire fire! Elliptical or the tread mill is going to have to do. I have them so I may as well use them. Options, :thumbsup:.
Plenty of clean air here in Ventura County.

More like I didn't ride my bike this week cuzz... Well the wife has been gone all week and it's just me, Nick & Rusty and this mr mom :poop: is more work than I thought. Working, cooking, cleaning, taking care of others, sh!t I just wanna ride my mf'ing bike. Nick has been a trooper and holding down the fort like a five star general while I'm at work. Told him not to burn the house down or have the cops show up and don't loose the dog and so far he's made me proud. Oh and it's been a nasty 105º+ all week:devilish:. I'm gonna rip my own legs off soon though. I'm gonna have to cuzz of the way we have been eating. I don't think I've cooked inside for at least the last couple weeks.

Nick thinks I'm the best cook/griller ever and I think we all have gained about 5 pounds this week. Hate to admit it but the table top gasser grill worked perfect tonight.
