Today I went splurging. Is this where I come for absolution? I bought a Topeak Alien XS Multi-tool and I have to say that thing is cool! Also, I bought a Saris Bones Rack for the car so now I won't have to disassemble the bike everytime I want to transport it. On a smaller note I got some nifty new gel bartape...Oh yeah! I also upgraded the TV so I can watch the rest of the tour. I fear that things are downhill from here. I heard some really pretty bikes calling me in the bike shop today and I do have an extra spot on the bike rack!
