Procrastination
Procrastination is a bad thing. Procrastination is keeping me from cleaning up my road bike so I can ride it. I'm not procrastinating about the cleaning part, just about the part that I know that I will have to replace the usual parts (chain, brake pads, bar tape, cables, etc...). I forgot when I bought the bike in July that I would have to spend money on it as well... oops. I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and spend the money cause I need that bike to start my training, which I unofficially began last weekend with two mtb rides. The second one was a 3 hour slog through mud and muck that I should have taken my SS on... I spend like 2 hrs cleaning my bike the next day...but needless to say that weekend of hard riding killed me. I'm more out of shape that I thought. I need to get back on the roadie to build up that endurance I will need to cut down my time at the 101 and do well at Shenandoah.
Oh and my Ergon Grips will be here Tuesday... needless to say I'm really excited
Oh and I promise I will post up pictures of my bike once the new grips get put on... as well as some hopefully artistic pics of my bike absolutely covered in mud...
