And now comes the sad part: I&#8217;m going to be wicked fucking busy this week. I&#8217;m not even going to have time to go for a bikeride unless I do some self-delusion about the <em>four clients<\/em> I&#8217;m juggling this week. But when these projects are done, I&#8217;ll have money to get my bikes awesome. One&#8217;s to be a road bike convert and the other one&#8217;s a most impressive mountain bike built originally by my friend Daniel. One&#8217;s for going out the front of the driveway, the other out the back.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">So I&#8217;m going to disappear for a couple of days. I&#8217;ll be back with work done and bike pics to show after the 19th.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a ritual. It goes like this.
