DAY OFF !

Wow today I got a rare day off! Work is slow so it was nice to be able to sleep in this morning. What to do today?................

Maintenance! New carbon bars for the road bike! Got into the BB of the S-Works and it was full of water from the Crit sunday, cables and housing too. Mountain bike needed some love also. Got a little housework done already today too.

Wed night Angie and I ran at the VA. 3.4 miles, I didn't do too bad for not running in a very long while. Man am I paying for it today though. My legs are as tight as banjo strings. I thought that the TNR ride would loosen them up.....NOT. Last night was an easy spin for me on the TNR ride. We had Brandon join us for his first ride up Buffalo on a road bike. He did well too! After the ride we were going to go to Marco's pizza but we found out after driving there its carryout only so we headed down to Alley cats for some suds and sandwiches. Bucks Pizza has just SUCKED on service as of late so the TNR group has been searching local businesses for a place to hit after the ride. If we could get someone to host about 25 riders after the ride they could earn a pretty coin. The group consisted of John Horne, Hummer, Myself, Angie, Amber, Big Brad and Brandon. Good time. There is usually alot of TCRC (red & black) riders that eat afterwards also. Looking foward to saturdays CRAWL we haven't done one in a while so it should be a blast.

I watched the TDF as I was doing some maintenance and saw a Gerolsteiner rider hit a traffic island and rip his Specialized Tarmac in half! Yes ripped it in half! It threw him about 25ft after he hit it, he sorta limped away and didn't look hurt that bad....wow.


Later G.......................................
