Finally went to the doctor today to get my hand checked out and it's not looking so good, probably gonna have to get a cast.it's also a gorgeous day out in Portland but I can't go to the track cause I can barely make a fist. I'm bitter and going to drink heavily tonight.

Dang, that sucks about the hand HnS.
Today I consumed two flying insects which means spring has officially sprung and I must try to unlearn my favored gape-mouth breathing technique again.

Felt a strong urge to do this...
... at work.
But a steady paycheck is a hard thing to come by nowadays, so I didn't. Not yet.
Soon...

Today I outpaced a roadie in full castelli kit.....until we hit a small hill where he decided to go SCR on me. It's not a race, I'm just trying to go home.

I dunno, the mechanics talked it up to me and it's cheap lol
It makes them (marginally) more strong and robust. Also, if I break a spoke on the road, it will stay in place instead of flailing around and potentially causing frame damage. I'm gonna be beating the crap out of these wheels by using them as everyday riding/training wheels.

beating the crap out of wheels w/ aerolite spokes + alloy nips= **********
shoulda laced up some double butted spokes + brass nips.
also, breaking a spoke that tied and soldered is more of a pain in the ass to replace than ones that's not......broken spokes and frame damage usually don't go hand in hand....
