Ow…

Well…no…I didn’t crash or anything like that…just damn sore from working on the house and like an idiot, I didn’t rest today but went out and did 30 miles…the first ride was really screwy with the shifter so inconsistent it was three gears off at times on the indicator and finally wouldn’t come out of top gear so I had to use the front shifter to be able to get back here…so, I made a huge adjustment before going out this afternoon and the damn cable broke just a few hundred yards out…at least I knew what the problem was and had to run over to the bike shop to get a new one and install it which went quite well and that made the bike ride much more normal…but, the shifter is still worn out and that makes it impossible to get it adjusted right…I did buy a new shifter for 19 bucks but that won’t be here for a while but I can live with the old one now that the cable is new…and the weird thing is where the cable broke…inside one of the sheaths which I have never seen before and was the reason I couldn’t figure it out until it broke…now it’s break time and I am taking the rest of the day off to just veg out and watch some races…I think I may have earned it…
