Cab over Kenworth

 HUH? 

yeah that's the best way to describe me showing up at the TT compared to everyone, literally, everyone else there. It just does not get less aero of an over the road truck than that. Cue me. Same. Of all the 'road' bikes I have that one is the least. The crockett isn't much better but it is a little. Klein has a really high BB and I sit up in the air a bit more and in a move of idiocy I put some 46s on that bike. Maybe i'll get one of them fancy bikes...  maybe.

Of all the other rides there, Kipp was second place with his '04 C'dale but even that is WAY more aero (his wheels too) (and he's got a lower drag) although he did have a bit of heat stress and sat in the back of an ambulance for a while after.

So yeah as expected I faired pretty poorly. Couldn't get going very fast on the first section, kept getting slower until it turned up then stopped getting slower and kept pace pretty well up Reynolds with everyone that passed me but that's a little too late to recover from the first downhill aero demanding section.

And well as good of a night as it was, as nice as it was to ride out there and back with Graham, and to hang out with Marcus and Betty and to see Cronoman and Solobreak in the flesh. I'm in a shit mood, slept like crap, it has been a long week, I'm tired, and just, yeah I dunno. call it a funk or something.

Stache is still broken, I need to put a volume spacer in the top fuel shock, probably should take the pivots apart and re-locktite everything, 

And then there's everything else. literally, everything it seems. And yeah, one thing at a time, get through it and pretty soon in a couple weeks i'll be racing for 24hrs. Assuming i can find a few extra sliding dropout locknuts (proprietary of course, only avail from Trek).

And my dumb ass thought I could get away w/o eating breakfast and extending my fast till lunch. Feeling like a really fucking bad idea right now.

So yeah - I commented on Solobreak's strava that i wasn't going to write. And yeah, I probably shouldn't.

Go check the Nanoscape twitter and IG feed, there's cool shit I've been doing posted there. 

i'm going to make some coffee and hope that helps.
