That is a cracked chainstay. After 5 months post-wreck, my luck ran out. Started making a creaking noise last Friday and I thought it was the bottom bracket. Nope.
Going to try the Cannondale crash replacement program through my retailer.
That's all I've got to say about that.

I guess that the folks at Robert Axle Project were serious when they recommended that users check their TAs for proper torque before each ride.
well somehow this makes me feel better.

Another successful once-this-week mowing of the lawn. Across the street a little boy with some tennis balls came out when the wrestling dogs did and it was pure chaos.

It's the day before a long weekend, lots of people are out on vacation, and my bike's in my truck so I can go ride one of my favorite roads after I get off work.
I've got a feeling it's going to be a long one.

Yet, I can't find much motivation to ride, unfortunately. I might get in an hour today. I honestly think the motivation to ride is the #1 most important thing to have, because once you have that, you'll find a way to overcome all the various excuses, and find the time to get out there and ride.

Alarm cat got into our room at 4:30AM. We usually close the door tight so she can't do that, but that hard lemonade must have gone to my wife's head, as she did not close door tight enough to click it, and of course Jackie came in and wanted some love from me. It was a bit early but I can't be angry with such a lovely creature.
