The Cynic Says……

Well, looks like Half-Life 2 and Need For Speed Underground 2 are both out… Unfortunately I’m hardly ever home so I’m not even sure if I’m going to bother purchasing either of them. I’m really tempted to get NFSU2 because I absolutely loved the first one and the 2nd one looks like it’s going to be seriously badass. I guess it’d be good to have as something to do if it rains and/or I don’t feel like riding. Granted that won’t be very often since I generally do ride everyday unless I’m off and it’s raining. That hasn’t happened yet, thankfully. As far as my bike goes, I’ve ordered a set of brake rotors and I should be ordering new wheels very soon. The way I see it, I’m going to order a 2nd full wheelset with brake rotors and a cassette that way I can use my good wheels most of the time but if it gets nasty and snowy outside, throw my old wheels on with a set of knobby tires and ride them instead. A new set of wheels, lighter rotors, lighter cassette, and a lighter fork should knock 5 lbs of weight off my bike which will be hella nice. My bike is fairly heavy as it is (~30 lbs) and I certainly wouldn’t mind it being more around the 25 lb range. Amusing how I’ve gone from spending all my money on my computer and cellphone and various electronic gadgets to spending all my money on my bike. Money on my bike is money well spent, though.
