hahaha worst! I had the creepiest guy too. And I had to get him to stop half way through after he'd done the bladder stuff to pee then came back and did the internal stuff. (Which btw my doctor did not warn me it was internal so that was a rude shock to top it off) haha Hope everything is all good!

Just have to make a major all lady shout out after an instance I had tonight:
Never let a man tell you what you are capable of. If you feel like you are being disrespected you are capable of standing up for yourself. Don't let someone else tell you only a man can stand up for you.
I made my stand tonight. I hope you can, too.

I don't have a road bike so feel free to ignore everything I'm about say, but if road bikes are anything like mountain bikes the sizing and size chart can be very misleading. The bike size measurement is usually referring to your seat tube length. You'd think it would be distance from the saddle to the bars or maybe pedals to the bars, but nope, it's the seat tube (yeah the thing that holds the most adjustable part on any bike), wtf. This video talks about some of the weirdness of bike geometry and measurements and why they are all not really that useful:
What you really care about is "reach" but not every manufacturers lists it, and it's not always standardized in how it's measured when it is. On the upside you can change the reach of any bike dramatically by swapping out stems. Stems on road bikes are several inches long so you can potentially gain tons of reach even if the bike is initially too large.
Lastly I'm 5'2 and I've found medium and small bikes fit me best with some small bikes feeling waay too cramped, and x small being out of the question. You really just have to try before you buy, since there is very little standardization. I would error on the side of larger rather than smaller due to being able to throw a smaller stem on there if necessary.

Biked a few miles to a park to catch the sunset and then laid on the grass and it started sprinkling. Then biked back in a downpour and found cover under a tree. Then got beers and laughed for a few hours. So pumped on tonight.

I fell off my mountain bike and tore up my elbow. It was really dusty in the open sections and I lost it going too fast on a corner. On the upside most of my body armor worked pretty well so I'm only a little bruised and sore, I already ordered new elbow pads since mine did not work, should have known not to get the lightweight sleeve kind. My knee slammed super hard into the ground but my hardshell knee guards did their job so knee is just a little bit bruised. At least when people ask me what happened to my arm I can tell them I hurt it doing something badass.
Also got a new ski outfit on a killer deal so now I want to go skiing: https://www.google.com/search?q=Peak+Performance+Tour+Gore-Tex&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS550US550&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjso6rOgtbOAhUhHGMKHZkmDoQQ_AUICSgC&biw=1152&bih=590#imgrc=_ it's the orange and white jacket and pants, got it for 80% off, so stoked to go ski now.

Going to the Whistler bike park for the first time next week. I'm excited but also nervous because I've only biked at my local mountain which is not very big, they only have 4 trails really (they claim they have 8 or so but there are only 4 main ones with some segments that branch off and then re-merge). I'm also only an intermediate rider so I don't want to accidentally get on anything too difficult.
Does anyone know how long it takes to build up enough arm strength to bike all day? This is my second season of downhill going 2 days a week and I still can barely do 4 hours before my arms turn to jello. Yeah I should go to the gym, but ain't nobody got time for that.
I did buy these new imprint grips that mold to your hand shape, hoping they help with arm pump: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/us/en/tmr-designs-imprint-grips-premium/rp-prod134670 but they haven't showed up yet.

I've been so lonely and it sucks. I have friends... I guess. But they have friends that they'd rather spend time with so I'm just kind of the person they hang out with from time to time. Which is fine, when we hang out it's pretty rad. But I really really really reallllllyyyyyy wish I had just one friend who I could actually count on.
I actually really enjoy being in the presence of others. I don't even have to be a part of the conversation or whatever but being in the company of people is nice. I don't really have that here though. And I'm not confident enough to talk to anyone or put myself in that situation.
I just want to have people in my life who care. I don't know when or if that will happen. I'm also sick of being single. I think it's been like 4 years and am not a fan of random hook ups one bit. GOD DAMN I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO LOVE ME.

Whistler's bike park is pretty amazing. It seems the trails at my mountain are horseshit compared to the buffed out smoothness of Whistler, so my hands and arms were doing fine even with consecutive days of riding. It was funny to hear people complain about the brake bumps and hand fatigue at whistler, I'm like dude these are the smoothest trails ever.
If anyone was wondering about the imprint mouldable grips, after a couple days trying to downhill on them I swapped them out. They were just too wide for my tiny hands (size small women's gloves). The wideness was making it so I couldn't keep a loose grip and death grip = hand fatigue. I think they might work okay for pedaling, or if I had large hands they would probably have been fine. The grip surface itself was very nice and the finger notches felt good they were just too chunky.
