I was never a thespian, though I did write a serious of Shakespearean parodies in high school and college. My favorite was The Typist , where a demoted office wizard summons a temporary typist from the steno pool to blow the office manager off course and into his clutches. You may not believe this, but I used to be witty.

Wednesday I was riding with one of the princes. I say to him, what is that creaking noise? We can't figure it out, it's louder when he pedals. We're almost home so we don't worry about it.
Today he gets his bike out to clean it for tomorrow's century (different one than mine). Here's what he texts me:
Thats a crack in the down tube of a bike made out of... What material would you guess? Yep, steel.
This bike is a 14 year old Lemond, if that makes any difference. The crack was right near one of the bolts for the water bottle cages.
He just dropped the Sparrow back off, there was hope he could ride that, but it's too small.
Gotta ya hit the hay, big day tomorrow.

Unplug wire and test start if it does, try an engine oil flush and change.
Infrequent oil changes cause sludge to build on sensor, most generators recommend oil changes every 40 hours of operation. In that same 40 hours it is not unusual to consume 3 or 4 ounces of oil.
Good luck

I should get some sewups ready for the Jack Frost Time Trial (it starts 5 miles or so from my front door, I pretty much can't not ride it).
I still have a Nisi Countach laced to Campagnolo Record front, just gotta get a 7-speed rear for the Scapin or 9-speed rear for the Lemond or a fixed rear wheel for the Free Spirit.
and 3 tires and some quality huffin' glue.

Leaving Florida today and 8" is forecast for home starting tonight. We're stopping over in Nashville for a couple days so hopefully the roads will be cleared.

So this is exactly the ride Francis was trying to set up for us, its what we were all told to expect. That and: "Be safe, have fun, and look out for each other."
