Photo Friday.


This picture explains what I've been doing with my free time this week (which is a lot less than it used to be).

This twisted hunk of metal should not, obviously, look like this; rather it is the aftermath of the massacre that was involved in removing said small but critical part from a bike that I am about to sell. The great news is that all the damage inflicted was upon this small, stubborn and (ex)stuck part, so the actual bike itself is still fine. Quite relieved about that.

No riding this week, as it is too damn cold and dark most mornings and evenings and I stuggle to drag my weary carcasse out of bed at seven even now. I'm back to lame workouts and reading on the internet about other people riding during the week, but tomorrow is a different story.

One late bit of good news today is that I scored a new part time gig for my last three months here, which is worth quite a bit of money. It will also use up my remaining free weeknights so I am going to be a busy little bee as THE DAY comes closer, but is well worth it. I figure I can sleep once I get home.

That's all. Time to go back to the beer.

Nice job, Kurisu. But actually I could not tell the metal portion for which part... maybe for free body???

Tomorrow, I'm going to go Kansai CX race master cat. 2, which I won with M-4 tank last year, they call it the sand hell but I have really fat front;)

Yeah, it's not a great photo, but it's a BB cup - I changed ISIS BBs, and this cup was stuck.

Good luck at the race! I wish I could go too. I'll ride though, and after that...who knows? coffee?

That is a very mangled BB Chris.

Getting a part time gig is a good thing - you can rest later;)

And you want to talk about cold? Think -10 and 30 cm of snow! I think I'll be confined to indoor training at the gym for a while:)

Hey T,

Yeah, no competition with your cold weather! I'm looking forward to Aussie 'winter' quite a bit...

Thanks, it's good to have the extra work, but still not back at an FIA salary (why did I leave again???).

Not cold here - a bit wet though. 68 mm in about 30 minutes this afternoon.

Wow! That's a lot of water. Did any of it fall into Wivenhoe?
