Thanks, I was able to figure out that the "cable line" has a bend in it by design at the RD, which is not a big deal but definitely a difference from earlier generations. Works great btw.

Got the last campsite available for Saturday at French Creek State Park. Only 45 miles each way, but there are some hills after the bike trail section on the way out. Think I I will try out my new UL tent. And maybe I will see datlas on the way home Sunday.

There is a guy that lives behind me, but a house down. I’ve never met the guy. His backyard is a mess as he never trims the bushes or weeds his flower beds, and allows his pool to go green (we have iron fences so his backyard is visible to us and the other neighbors. Today he decided to drain his pool by running a hose into my backyard and pumping water thru it so it would run into a storm water drain on my property. It is illegal to put pool water into that drain because of environmental contamination concerns. It’s also illegal here to divert water from one property to another. So, I asked him tonight not to do so. He tried to argue with me, but I insisted that he not drain his pool onto my property.
Am I the a-hole?

Keep his water on his own property.

Got to practice the next crit course yesterday. I like it, but the first turn has one of those drainage lips across the whole turn. If everyone is bunched up I can see this being a problem.
I predict this race will be a lot different then the last one. The field is not nearly as big and the course is not open like the speedway was. I imagine some will breakaway in the beginning and the rest will be divided into small pockets. This is my ignorance speaking though, I honestly have no clue what I am talking about.
Goal is the same, not to crash, but I am not going to concern myself with my placing this time. Focus more on making smart moves and play around with sprinting on one of the straightaways.
It’s a bummer but I don’t think my kit will be here by then.

I felt weak riding last night and this morning. I hope it’s just a little rust needing to shake itself out or else I’m in for a long Saturday. 100k, all on dirt, 30 degrees forecast at start time and 7500 feet of climbing. I imagine a pace of around 12-13mph. I’ll be giving Boswell and King a run for their money I’m sure…
