Usually an eternal optimist but the way this team has played in total for 2026, it's time to put the rose colored glasses away and take a long, hard look at the squad and admit the management failed us this season. All the little breaks we got in 2025 went the other way for us in 2026. Two lone bright spots, Burns and Stewart; but that's not nearly enough to be optimistic about what's ahead. And there's no Calvary to speak of with regards to the farm system, so where do we go from here?

Took my Surly 1x1 on tour to Boston for last weekend's Phish concerts at Fenway. I posted this photo of my bike lean against in a fixed gear forum, only to learn I was bastardizing bike terms and the post got taken down. But not before a helpful person pointed out how slack my chain was. Ffwd to Sunday and I'm hopping off the NEC train at NYP to have it checked out at a little spot called "Bike Shop" on 38th and 7th. The guy didn't speak a lot of English but totally hooked me up with a proper tune up (and a new helmet bc I left mine on the train) Got to love the adventures we put ourselves through for the ride!

Took my Surly 1x1 on a road trip to Boston for the weekend, here for Phish concert at Fenway. Finding Boston to be an excellent biking city. Usually would have brought my cross check but I wanted to give the fixie some urban touring run for a change. Staying in Roxbury and hope to get at least a little ride in each day.
