breaking news!

Providence cyclocross Fest has moved registration from Noon (same time as G-ster) to 2pm!

That's going to make it interesting, esp since I'm going to now have to figure out how to delay a 2pm meeting...

Managed to get out on the bike. Put together the barriers. Bought a bunch of 1/2" PVC. 6 10' sections of 600 PSI stuff. A couple bags of junctions, a bag of T junctions, a couple bags of end caps and one bag of elbows. I was looking for those 90 degree T junctions that Greg (mud and cowbells) but Lowes didn't have them. So I've got some elegant simple ones now.

So headed to the park and set up a pair of doubles. And did laps. Around and around on and off. Felt good. Wicked hot. but after 20 minutes or so it became natural again. So nice.

But, lifting started to put a touch of strain on the back. If i'd landed on my left side, not such a big deal. But no, I solidly bruised the right side. Muscles and ribs. In the back. But my suitcase was a thing of beauty. I still looked like an ungainly freak running over the barriers but it felt good and it hurt.

Smack down tomorrow - moving it up a few minutes. Got a good group showing up. Time to get some smack down on.

Still haven't got the new drive train on the giant cross bike bike, but the bike room is clean. Just have to organize the craftsmen roller case and the tool box.

Cross is coming. And now I have two pairs of barriers that weigh 11 pounds and fit in my bag... time to get some more drills in over lunch...

i love this time of year
