For some reason the Polish beer kicked my ass today. Those ol' biddies were trying to get me drunk over there! I ordered my sausage and sauerkraut, she asked here or to go, I said I'll eat here, she said Good, you can have a beer too then.

Racing the 5200 tomorrow. Atleast if that wrecks it is what it is.
I think the thing that I am most upset about other not finishing, and possibly down a bike, is the fact that my wife gave me a whole day to ride, and all I managed was 26 miles. If I had known this was going to happen, I would have rather rode 100 miles.
Tomorrow with the crit, I’ll get another 25 at best.
I like to ride distance. Anything less than 50 seems like a waste.
Don’t even get me started on that leader board.
I have the whole week off, so unless it rains I plan on redeeming myself.

Second ride in the rain in a row, a week apart. For today's ride though, I had located the rain jacket. When not in use, it stuffed nicely into the spare bottle cage on the bars.

Went out this AM trying to do 50 on dirt- met up with some buddies 15 miles in and rode with them- it was slow and enjoyable until we got down by the Hudson, then it was windy and cold.
Wish for more climbing- 2200 feet was all packed into 10 miles in the middle, the rest was flat.

replaced rotors and pads today with fresh ones. rotors may have had some life left (resurfaced once, 6,000 hilly miles, not yet paper thin), but it feels and looks nice. also, i hope i don't die on my ride tomorrow AM. working on brakes makes me super nervous. but i rode up and down the block for 10 minute to get them bedded and all seems well.

Speaking of that, can a shop straighten a spoke? or do they replace that? I have spare spokes, but I am a little worried that the shop won’t be able to straighten the wheel. The only consistent complaint with these wheels is that they are hard to true, and in some cases shops refused to work on them.
If I can get these straighten and I don’t need a new fork, then I will get a new set at some point in the future, and only use these old ones for racing.

Stages power meter
Super team wheels
Carbon Bars
Pedals
these are things that I want to spend money on.
