Yesterday I found out that it's shorter to ride from Burnaby to MEC in North Vancouver then home than it is to go to the MEC in Vancouver, and the North Van MEC has a better selection of bike parts! Picked up the new pannier that my wife financed and loved it! It felt great to get that load off my back and have functional vents on the rain jacket again! The new mudflaps I put on worked great and kept all the crud off my bottom bracket and downtube so shifting should be better in the bad weather.

Had to drive in today. There's just no way to make it to my sons daycare in time to pick him up if I have to stop at home to swap vehicles... I guess I need to start putting time on the drainer again in the evenings. Sufferfest, here I come!
