So a week off the bike - allowing the crack in the head time to repair itself - it has pretty much healed, just a trademark scar to tell the grabndchildren about one day? Meanhile a cunningly timed pit stop was taking place in the background!
My set of wheels bought on ebay - just a pair of Bontrager Alloys (standard on a Trek 1.2) complete with brand new SRAM cassette, have been fitted to the bike, plus new chain and also a replacement rear gear cable.
Therefore bike and rider back to somewhere approaching their best, it all bodes well for an assault on mileage this next week, commencing with a club run tomorrow night with NABC - bring it on!
Currently sat here watching British Ironman on Channel 4 - always looks good and the mind often wanders about doing that inaugural triathlon, but still not sure about my swimming capabilities - particularly in open water - maybe you can do a relay team of three? - Just need to find a swimmer and a runner then!
Cycling season definately on a wind down. Franco Belge on at present and Farrar and Boonen finally get wins. All the big boys are pulling the curtains down on their seasons and pretty much only Paris-Tours yet to come. Roll on the transfer season and changes to team rosters. Where will Wiggo and Contador be in 2010, will Team Sky clinch either signature? Who else is joining Radioshack? Any other big surprises? Let's hope not but there are bound to be some close season doping scandals too.
Will be checking in next week hopefully with a decent amount of milege to report.
