New month, new miniblog thread. This is for anyone to join in, jump on, ride away with etc. If you have a recent experience to share but don't feel it's worth a whole new topic, why not bring it to the Today thread?
Third beautiful day in a row for commuting my crazy commute. Great conditions; roads nice and dry, nice temperature. Coming home yesterday evening I got two great drafts - one from a 20t truck loaded with steel girders (65 kph), and one from a 4-stroke 50cc scooter (30 kph without pedaling.) Today I got another fast draft from a Circle-K delivery truck. Don't try this at home, kids.
I'm excited about impending TCC jerseys (more jerseys yay!) and about getting my new Ti frame courtesy of TimIndustries (new frame yay!) soon.
Was just about to set off for home this evening when I found that my Topeak QR Beamrack had split. Glad I didn't ride off in that condition - might have lost all my luggage... and my balance. I'm sure that the reason for it splitting is my constant overloading and abuse of it, but it's annoying nonetheless.
I'll post a photo tomorrow, and ask if anyone knows anyone with an Al welding rig that might be able to do a quick repair.
Looks like it'll be sunny for the weekend. Good weather yay!
