Day off!
Today is my day off from work...Yipee! But I still went in from 8:30 till 11:00 waiting for "Brown Santa" to show up with goodies. He never came...sigh.
Anyway, yesterday from about 1:00 till this morning I felt like ass. I felt how I did at the 24 Hours of Moab. No energy...sore body...just general fatigue. Great, all I need to do is get the sickness before the race this weekend. Anyway, I got home from work and pounded a glass of OJ and Emer'gen-C and now I feel a ton better. I also slept like a baby from 8:00 PM till 7:00 AM. Ahhhhhh, refreshing.
This morning I got up and took the Mazda P5 to get the oil and air filter changed. Also got the tires back up to proper air pressure, and had the tires rotated. The car drives like a million bucks now. Should be good to go for the 5ish hour drive to Milwaukee.
Tonight...
Road Group Ride of Doom! Of course I will join if I feel like I am up for it. Don't want to drag the bodies immune system down. Stay tuned later for a recap. I might just take the camera.
Last night at the shop...
A lady bitched me out on the phone, cause her tires were low on her bike after picking it up 2 weeks ago. She mentioned this is the first time she has attempted to ride this bike since the repair. For the repair, we did a tune up and replaced the tubes cause she suggested it. Anyway, she proceeded to tell me that if she pays $90ish dollars for a repair her tires should never go flat. She also said that in her 35 years of riding a bike that her tires have never been low and has never had to air up her tires. Riiiiiiiiiiight. I told her that tires loose air from just sitting. No matter if it is a $200 bike or a $10,000 bike. It's just a fact of owning a bike lady. Own a floor pump and pump up those tires just like the rest of the cycling community. And please tell the little inner demons prancing around in your skull to chill out. Bitching gets you nothing. Let me do my job. Oh, and a bicycle is NOT a toy.
Rant off.
Ok, that is all. Stay tuned for write up from the ride.
Oh, and don't forget to where your helmet while riding your bicycle. Those of you reading this know what I am getting at. As Guitar Ted said..."Either you know or you don't." I'll leave it at that.
Get better soon dude!
Have you experienced the Soiled Chamois? Check it out!
