trail work day followed by a ride = long day. The trails were like a rollercoaster... so much fun.

A heated mattress pad with dual controls is something you should look at... it saves a lot of power and ensures you can both stay comfortable.
For some reason The Girl's side of the bed is always much warmer.

Stayed up very late watching Paris Roubaix on a live internet feed. Brutally hard race when you see them bouncing all over the cobbles. time for bed. Luckily I don't have to work tomorrow or I would be a zombie.

Gee, recovering from a hernia operation, while I can't ride, I can read about other people's rides, and hope that in 4 weeks or so, things will be healed up enough to ride, even though I can't return to work for about 3 weeks beyond that

That's pretty much why I bought them, because I don't want to waste money on ultegra front hubs, when these will do. For the rear, however, good old ultegra and XT hubs, because I'm weary of the novatech freehub mechanisms.
my only true complaint is that they don't come with QR skewers.
Now I have to go buy some shimano skewers from ebay or something.

That's why I refuse to drive in Toronto though... People complain about Hamilton, but it's way better than Toronto!
