48 hrs rest so I can let my butt & leg muscles rest; recover & grow. I'll get some weight training in and I'm looking forward to it.
I also need the car to get to the LBS - need a hub rebuilt and a whole custom wheel for the converted hybrid. I rode it again this weekend for one 50 mile leg and remembered how comfortable it is. It deserves a nice strong commuting wheel.
Was gonna use a wheel I got off the world sport but when I was doing the bearings discovered the axle was bent and I didn't have a bolt that diameter. Also one side requires removal of the gears/cassette to get to the bearings - what a pain. That's a nice alloy 27" wheel so it'll be worth the expense to get in there and get the right replacement part.
