My Bike
I got my bike back on tuesday, after a few weeks sitting in the bike shop. The situation with my rear wheel has been frustrating (hub issues, broken spokes), and Specialized was supposed to send a new hub part to the shop. They sent the wrong one and the shop patched my bike together, but when they went to find the right part…they don’t make it anymore. So I get a new wheel, super strong 36-spoke job with an Ultegra hub. I’m happy.
I’m also just happy to have the thing back. Rode to work on Wednesday and didn’t mind the cold at all (however, I have purchased an under-helmet beanie and some sturdier gloves since), in fact I hope to keep riding to work except in icy/snowy conditions.
Yesterday (Friday), I got the most riding-in-a-day since my century at the end of September. I escorted Seth on his first commute to work and basically ran all around town. I only totaled 20 miles or so, but it still felt great. It’s easy to forget just how much I love riding, but I’m back in business.
Also, Monday night is PIR’s car-free winter wonderland. Anyone up for it?
