SAVE MONEY, FEEL GREAT
SINCE THE WEATHERTHINGY SAID RAIN ALL DAY, I slept in. The plan, a few days ago, was to make this Saturday my last very hard day before next weekend's races...
... I did the next best thing.
Out in the chilly garage, I got down to business.
Threw the race bike up in the stand,
pulled out the race wheels,
mounted new tires,
lubed the pulleys,
waxed the chain,
race readied,
the bike.
Once done, the rain ceased for a few minutes. I took it for a brief spin...
... the bike felt amazing.
There's something about being able to do my own wrenching that is both...
... satisfying and energizing.
The investment of time to learn what and how to do the basics, and a few dollars in equipment...
... is one of the best returns we'll ever get.
Confidence.
I felt so good, I bundled up and took a shot at dodging the storm clouds coming in off the ocean.
Ninety minutes later a soggy and cold mechanic rolled home on the Frankenbike...
... ready as I'm gonna be.

It's been good to have The Posse keep me on track...
... we start a new month next and there are a few spots available.
