Knocked out by a Cold

It was pretty amazing, the poison ivy and then a wicked head cold that has run me down over the last three weeks pretty much ended my riding season. Now that I'm finally starting to feel better a part of me wants to get back out on the road for October before the rough weather sets in but I'm not sure if I'm going too. The TMI version is cycling cooks the family jewels, and if you're looking to start a family it helps to try with uncooked goods.

If I do get out and about on the bike more this year I'll write about it, but only time will tell. In bike maintenance news I removed my wife's clipless pedals and put on her old iron blocks so she can hop and whenever she wants to with her street shoes. It took a little more force than I was expecting and it was plenty greasy, but all together a pretty easy task.

Aside from riding my last big chore of the fall will be to give the bike a good cleaning and fresh set of lube before I store it for the winter, but that's a greasy story for another time. Until then, cheers.
