Car Free

This week looks like being a little challenging. I'm car free following the sardine can impersonation it did while refusing to let go of the bicycles and racks vouchsafed to it. It's off at the car hospital being made well, or at least being made back into a sedan.

This is much more than can be said for the bikes. Endurogirl's beloved Luna was pronounced beyond help by Dr Raoul on the weekend and the Yellow Peril Meh(k) is sporting terminal cracks in the top and seat tubes. So it's fun and games time with insurance companies who seem to have made a new sport in obstacle forms.

Add to this the fact that Meh(k) and Bianchi have both screwed up their new model intro's to the extent that it's almost impossible to get our hands on replacement frames and we're in for a bit of mucking around to get back on the road.

While the car is off at the hospital, I'm getting lots of k's under the wheels of Grace the fixed wheel workhorse.


This morning I did track training and then rode to work. A couple of sets of flying starts off the top of the bank in an 81 inch gear has left my legs in that over-cooked spaghetti state. I feel very tired now.......

It looks like I'll be knocking out my first week of more than 400km for quite a while. Unless you count the week before last.
