Customer...Is my bike ready?
rjones28...Yes, but after an hour of riding, I was not able to find the mysterious creaking noise
Customer...Gee...Thanks? Thanks for looking into that, but all I wanted was my bar tape replaced
rjones28...Okay, great, I'll get right on that, be done in a few minutes

What a joke. Instead of USAC being happy I had insurance, and covering a bit of my out of pocket, they slap a honkin old deductible in there, and say.... We're happy your hip isn't dead.
Don't wreck your bike, kids! Nothing about that is cheap, especially if you do it right!

So I raced the new mountain bike that I got on Friday today.
At 9000 feet (4000 above where I live)
With a headache
After having ridden many a mile yesterday
And then I won.
It's about time I win something, I'm tired of being second. I won by 1:40, too, which was sustancial in an hour race. Unfortunately that means I should race up next time, but the next category is pro/expert, and I don't think I'm that good. Ah well, good day.

And quit complaining. Most riders complain about being pack fodder and would kill for 2nds.

When the wife was on OP SOPRANO in South Sudan, she was living off the economy for feeding, so I would send her care packages of food.
One of them was 48 cans of beets. They were on sale, and it was funny.
Me neither. What's a "hospital bill"?
More trail work last night. I think I'm going to concentrate on drainage work for the next couple of days and see if I can't get the wet spot cleaned out. With that done and the new stuff dried out, I'll have about 500m of new trail rideable.
Rode the Dummy to work today. No crabon yet - I want to set a baseline first.
Where *is* pcad?

At first I was wondering 'why Minnesota' and then I remembered that we have an impressive amount of medical device companies in our state. Contrary to our politicians knowledge since they voted to tax them out of existence (before flip flopping and fighting to repeal the same tax they voted for).
