One of my cyclist friends (the one who rode Alpe de Huez SIX times in one day) told me the LBS found a crack in his crabon frame. I don’t know any details and am hoping it’s just in the exterior but it’s possible his bike is done for. It’s an Eddy Merckx that’s about 7 years old.

Not a good day. Ran out of dark roasted coffee beans and had to mix in some medium roasted coffee beans that were a gift. The results that I am experiencing are not stellar. Also, my streak of no work weekends is about to end. At least the weather is lousy and I'm not missing good riding conditions.
I might be able to ride outside later and things are looking up so that's good. Better than being a salted peanut.

I plan on riding today, for the third day in a row. I got off kilter there for a few weeks, but things are looking up for getting back on. I stopped and bought a box of Naprosyn tabs during yesterday's ride, as both knees were bothering me. I intended to take another 8 hours later, but forgot, and had no pain during the night nor this morning. Between the stretching and the chemicals I may be able to lick this thing.

WHAT? 
Oh wait, I thought you were saying the low was 2° and the high was 22°. The high was actually 47°.

I will tell him. I think the BB area is cracked but bike is at LBS. I do believe it is a 56.
