Nothingness

No ride on tap today. Just some casual work on the inevitable multi casualty train wreck that is XXC and then hanging with my main man.. B-Man. Big "man" day for us- out on the town in Monroeville hitting the office supply store, getting hair cuts, the bike shop, and the beer store. OK, the last one was just for me, but I wanted to pick up some Torpedo, and did.

At Pro Bikes I picked up a new and super cheap computer for the Campeon. My current one has been fading in and out despite new batteries, sensor adjustments, etc., for over a year now, so it was time for us to part ways. Always had good luck with the uber cheap Sigma computers, so that's what I went with.

I also FINALLY remembered to pick up a new Power Link. Lost my stashed one during some ride at some point a long time ago, but don't want to got into a race season without one. Better safe than sorry. Even with the simplicity of the Power Link I'd bet two piles of suck that I would still end up walking out the woods, but hey, at least I'll have one on me.

I was VERY close to picking up a new CamelBak, but opted not to. My current pack is too big for lap racin', and my race-ish Deuter Pack is lacking a bladder. BUT I found an old C'Bak bladder on the floor of my basement (not kidding) and am stoked to say it fits my Deuter just perfect. Just needed a series of disinfectings to get the stank out. At least it didn't have any VISIBLE black spots in the tube like the bladders I threw out last month! I guess I'll find out how well I cleaned it after I use it. 8 hours on the can will = EPIC FAIL. Anything else will be a money saving success.

Looks like all is go for a nice road ride tomorrow, maybe some dirt on Saturday and POSSIBLY a friendly road throw down with some local two wheeled miscreants on Sunday. Right now I need to dial some things in/on the bike/me ready for Leesburg, so I really hope dirt happens.

Later.
