I've been working on my house and trying to make time to do the brakes and flush the coolant in the Tour. Going to make a real effort this weekend
Got back on my mountain bike for the first time this year last Sunday. Normally I'd have 2 months under my belt already, but the last 7 months have been insane. First race is in a month - have my work cut out for me.
FWIW my first ride of the season was also my first crash of the season... fell backwards down a steep incline, foot still in the clipless pedal, flat onto back, bike rotating over my head as we went down
No harm done to me except for a slightly sore back and a couple of bruises... unfortunately my trusty steed has a bent axle. Gives me an excuse to get a better rim, I guess.
Contour is holding up nicely, although she's starting to show her age in the paint department. rear bumper is dulling a bit, and the hood seems to be attracting more chips than OJ.
What I really need is a pickup, due to the house. Will end up picking up a beater in the next month or so. If anyone knows of a good-running pickup for around $2K, let me know.
