hippy slept in and took today off after spending WAY too much time at work…

So now he’s undone the sleep in by staying up too late.. but there’s only POETS day left so it should go quickly.

I can’t give you a cool commute story.. but I can tell you that I had my first ride on the track (for the season) tonight. I waited for the novice session to finish and jumped on.

I have issues with Miche’s rear cog – I couldn’t get the Miche cog off the Miche cog-mount. So I had to run 49/18 rather than my usual 49/16 which is already a quite small training gear… Gotta see if there’s some tool available to get this stupid thing off. Position on the bike sucks too after all the road riding I’ve been doing.. but that’s probably TOB* and flexability related. Strange noises are WAY more unnerving when you have no brakes!

I also want to get another set of SPD-SLs because I don’t trust my SPDs for high-power track starts. Now that all the crap at work is done there’ll be more HOB**.

I hope Max is feeling better after his crash..
