2012.10.16My exercise fantasy... at least until Spring

New bike... check.
  • It's more bike than I planned on buying — but I couldn't pass up the deal on last year's model!
Rollers... check.
  • Aluminum drums. Baked fresh and served up by Amazon
Fork stand... check.
  • Are you kidding? It's been so long since I'd ridden rollers I figured it'd be a good idea to not kill myself right away — or WORSE, damage my bike!
Basement... check.
  • Pretty sure this wouldn't go over well upstairs.
Pedals... not check.
  • Got outbid on the ebay auction. Rats! But since I ordered new shoes I guess I can fairly safely buy some modern pedals.
Awesome old Motorola jersey to hang on the wall... check
  • Yeah. There's zero chance of me wearing a "5" and not looking like a red and blue sausage.
Awesome old Motorola jersey to actually wear.... mebbe
  • A size "6", however...
iPhone converted to cadence-enabled cyclocomputer?... about to be check
  • Should be here Thursday. The bike's being held still for goodness' sakes!
Misc. maintenance items (among them: chain lube!)... also about to be check
  • It's important.
Taken together, I should be ready to ride (going nowhere) in the evenings probably early next week. I really want the iPhone thing to work — I'll likely get a dedicated cyclocomputer in the spring, but for now this gives me something to do while I'm riding on the trainer!
