New Month

Well September is looking up in part at this point as temps finally seem to be ready to drop after I think 61 or 62 90+ degree days this summer versus like 30'ish the last few years.

Had a good ride out yesterday at Wake-o-tink. Punga and I rode WF for 4 miles of warm up and that was solid fun, then did a fair amount of Accotink including the new trail in reverse. Pretty fun but one tight section where I almost hugged a tree. Damn it gets dark early now. I always forget I have better night vision then average when several riders start complaining it's too dark 15 minutes before I need lights at all. Oh well. We rode out a bit early but it was fine. Ended up loosing a few people as the ride went on till it was me and 1 other guy doing the power lines in reverse, and the race course section of the creek trail in reverse. Think I totaled out near 16-17 miles.

Todd swears the new bike is allocated and will arrive and be ready maybe Tuesday probably Wednesday. I'm stoked and impatient as hell.

IN unstoked news my breakfast habits are hitting me negatively and I weighed in post ride at 198. Not good. So I'm going back to watching my intake a bit of what I eat. I want to be regularly 195. That usually leaves me post big ride 193'ish.

Nice weather this weekend should help I'm planning a big ride I think sunday at fountain hell. Gotta check out the new section.

Excitement

New bike should be in next Tuesday. Ordered new pedals yesterday they should arrive Friday or Monday. Debating taking off Tuesday entirely to go over and play. Maybe a half day instead? Or the next day? hmmmm.

Regardless it's coming just in time. My rear wheel on the Giant needs a full rebuild really. It's got 1 fully blown spoke and another with the wrong length. I may disassemble it myself and see how really messed up the rim is. If it's not bad I may have it rebuilt.

Stoked to ride today should be a great day and the next week/10 days looks awesome.

Little Birdy Says

That my new ride should be in RSN.

I'm stoked as it's been since the middle of June when I decided to pull the trigger.

Now to order the incidentals (Pedals, Pump, etc, etc). And consider how to hotwire the tires to be t00ble33.
