Doug-E-Fresh, WOI, and Geared Bike Maintenance

First off, HAPPY 28th BIRTHDAY to my baby brother (or, “bub-ra”) DOUG! 

Yes, ladies, he’s single, but he lives on the West Coast….

So, the WOI Weekend was a complete success, except for K1’s knee, but that’s another story.  What happens in Myrtle Beach STAYS in Myrtle Beach.  It was the complete “girls” weekend, with plenty of laughter, some White Russian (thanks, BA), some oysters, some PBR, and some “one-size-fits-most”-shells. (!)  Some pictures might become public.  Some (most) will not.  They are funny.  We got plenty of mullet shots at the car show.  As a whole, we sold 25,000 tickets for MS Society.

The weekend was well worth it.  I’m feeling much better from last week and a few things are (mostly) straightened out.  A little R-n-R will do a body good.

I just got finished changing out my rear derailleur cable and housing (didn’t have enough housing to do the front).  Of course, I’ve ridden the geared bike ONE TIME since the beginning of the year, and on that ride I managed to snag my rear housing on a big stick and tear it to shreds.  So, I had to do some work to get the Titus ready for next week’s race at Uwharrie — the first race of the Cane Creek Series.

So much can be said for taking a step back and getting a different perspective on things.

    I’m not really sure if I should be flattered or offended…

    Not to worry, B. I don’t happen to have those tendencies. No offense, A.
