2900 or 8/9/10

eight nine ten

what a day.

Quick status report:
Rusty Race Wagon is operable again. But the blown up bits were not caused by their failure but by a sticky ignition switch. The clutch WAS slipping (alot) and the starter was old (original) and lots of that era have been failing lately.

So all in all stuff that needed to be done, and had it not happened then we probably wouldn't have scored such a deal on a nearly perfect vehicle for the family. The rusty race wagon becomes my beater.

I'm bruised, sore and probably will have black under my nails for a week, but it works. And I can move on to CX season.

Team is coming together. Should be a blast, can't wait.

I had planned on running this morning. Got a decent run with the dog on monday morning but this morning was way too tired so i bagged on it. This is the last week with 4 days of running (supposed to be M-Th) before dropping to three days (TWT). Last week i had to bail on the Wed AM run but just swapped W for F. Might have to swap T for Friday this week. Got all registered for Fall River. So I'll be there. Not sure if I'm going to ride there and ride home like last year - or if everyone comes to the race and maybe I just ride home. I'd like to at least ride one leg to extend the saddle time (without growing mushrooms wearing bibs in the car).

I feel pretty good about where my torque is at right now. Just need to work on the high end full throttle stuff (bike racing) schedule is pretty light going into the first races, and man. They are NOT far away. Yikes. I best get registering I suppose.

And if you've missed it JONNY BOLD left some DNA in Kentucky, and not in the fun way, send him healing mojo if ya got some.

EBBP, warren, swansea, sommerset, FR, sort of like i did last year.

that's the plan anyway - or backwards. Post race with company i could be talked into going your way.

I was going to parallel 44 for the most part until Taunton then cut over and take Center St. over the bridge into Berkeley them Main St into FR. I might stretch it to get 40 or so out of it. Not planning on riding home. Going to lunch with Mrs. M and maybe some BOBs.

If you want to do lunch we can give you a lift home.
