call it a rest day maybe. last night was a motorpacing session. except i was the derny going into the wind for a co-worker who was running late. we had a nice headwind all the way down. I had to wait up a few times so he could catch back on but he did a great job at sitting on my wheel, esp for someone who doesn't ever really do that. Usually when we're riding in, it is side by side chatting (single file to pass people/bikes/on the road). He had a flat, changed the tube with a not so good patched tube and was struggling alot with the bead I guess. Man he will hate the schwalbe tires if he ever tries them, esp the Marathon Plus. That tire does not really like to go on easily. I will say that after 6 months or more of being mounted up it was much easier to get it on and off. So maybe there's some break in period with the PLUS belt.
It was a nice ride all in all. Had to use the headlight there at the end of the commute but soon, very soon the need for lighting to get home will be finished, and I can stop lugging around the battery pack.
I may bemoan the lack of Packzi around here, but a certain pastry has more than made up for it. Stollen. Yes, delicous, wonderful, dense, sweet Stollen. So I'm a few days late on the whole Fat Tuesday thing. But I did have a few slices of Stollen on Tuesday so that counts. I just had three fat slices (with some marzipan in them) after lunch.
Happy Tummy.
