AM - 4 miles.

Bike commute (half). New bike stolen. This is not a good trend (two bikes jacked in four weeks). But in the grand scheme of things, hardly the end of the world. I can't really get mad about anything right now...

The promised "better" picture from last weekend... and the words that go along with it.

Any word on your stolen bike?

The stolen bike is gone with the wind as far as I know.

Andrea found a good deal on KSL for a newer (still used) mountain bike that I ended up buying, and I really like it, so it all worked out OK.

Dale - a half hour after my comment to you... I left the office and my new bike was stolen!!! I jinxed myself!

Man that stinks.

Oh man, you have got to be kidding! that really sucks.

All the "homeless" that live along the Jordan River Parkway where I run in the morning all have beautiful new bikes. I always wondered who was providing them with those bikes. I am sure they appreciate you for that.

If you see anyone on a blue Gary Fisher Mamba 29er, feel free to knock them off and take it back for me. I'll pay you a finder's fee!

nuh uh. sorry.

they must have some smooth moves. that area seems to be so busy all the time...and presumably they are doing this in daylight?

From Jon on Thu, Sep 24, 2015 at 00:48:30 from 107.203.52.135

So is that 2 bikes, or 3?

From Jake K on Thu, Sep 24, 2015 at 01:00:13 from 70.208.15.253

That would be two bikes in less than 4 weeks, both times in broad daylight. Whoever is doing this is using professional equipment.

I'm in the midst of a walk of shame home at the moment, so I can't post a proper link, but if you click on the wasatch and beyond button in my sidebar, you'll see why I'm not TOO upset about this whole situation. There are more important recent events that overshadow a(nother) lost mountain bike ;-)

That being said, I was totally shredding the slickrock on Sunday and even faster than Andrea at times on my new bike, so I'm sad it's already gone!

Let me be the first to congratulate you on this site!!!

My wife and I just celebrated our 23rd anniversary last Saturday, the 19th.

From Jake K on Thu, Sep 24, 2015 at 01:41:24 from 67.166.113.191

Dale - I'm starting to think that the timing of your original comment was a little fishy... And now you are the first to comment on our engagement... I'm suddenly worried ;-)

Congrats on your 23rd. That's a great number (Jordan!!). Although Utahns probably don't like MJ as much as I do.

From DaleG on Thu, Sep 24, 2015 at 01:49:43 from 66.87.127.15

Lmao. After that post when you said your new bike was stolen, I thought to mysel. 'Oh great, now he's going to think I had something to do with it.' funny.

I loved watching Jordan play, but hate him for sinking the shot and the Jazz. Lol

Next time (although I would never buy a bike again) call me!!!
