Fridays.

The plan was to cut the banger loop and bleed the maguras in hopes that I would have the rig "race ready" by Iola. No go as I realized my lack of bleed parts. Next. After riding the kettles earlier this week I wasn't confident that my front wheel on the ferrous was ready so I dove in. I was burping stans everywhere and after the ride noticed the pine needles sticking out of the bead which prevented a proper seal. I spent the portion of the morning scrubbing old residue and refilling the tyre with a fresh dose. Back on the trail.

Headed out on what was to be a quick dirt park loop with the 42:18. The wind had a mind of it's own today while I played rag doll in the open. Hiding from mother nature isn't easy when the only route home is through an open field. I was cooked after 1.5 hrs and decided to call it quits since I felt like I was going backwards.

Back to the basement with hopes of building some new race wheels. After calculating the spokes I did my count and came up short a couple so that was going to have to wait. I've been neglecting Amanda's commuter for months now so I figured why not. Normally I'm on it before she starts mentioning problems but this bike was overdue. Two hours later and it's stacked with a new drivetrain, tyres, and fenders.
