St. Louis is FUN.

Let’s be honest. I moved here a month ago for a girl. The day I moved in she gave me a purple key to her place. She knows how precious all that #purpaul is. She has her eye on a mustard yellow Stumpjumper. 😜 It’s looking great. It’s definitely pretty OK.

This morning during breakfast she lovingly told me to go for a bike ride. It’s been 4 days and I guess my energy was vibrating out of me.

I did a 20 mile loop. It was a great time pedaling really hard then letting my ADHD go wild and take pics for as long or as little as I wanted. The city is really colorful. So many native plants everywhere. The ARCH is endlessly photogenic. I think because of the location it is a pretty empty park. They have it really beautifully landscaped and there are all the nooks and hill sides and trees. If you accidentally look the wrong way into IL it’s comically ugly though, LOL.

I bought the Berthoud saddle last winter, but TN was too wet to use it. Today was the first real ride and my peenus did not go numb. YOLO. I think it looks sick, so I’m glad my ass liked it.

I recently switched from Rene Herse Humptulips Ridges to the Ultradynamico slicks. The bike A LOT faster on paved stuff. Hopping off curbs is super cush. I ran like 28ish on dirt with the Rene Herse. I’m pumping these up to 60psi, but it seems to leak out some on the ride. They ride and corner great. I’m pretty sure I have plowed through A LOT of glass.

I bought the “F💵CK BILLIONAIRES” hat from a coffee shop in Chattanooga, TN. I loved the hat, but it was way too small. Today I cut the front panel out and sewed some Velcro on it. It’s like a down tube wrap thing now.

I love bikes and I’m just a big bike dork. Thanks for reading.
