I have had the worst luck since last Friday. Friday night I went running and felt so tired I had to walk back to my car. I decided to take it easy on Saturday, maybe go with some friends on a easy ride.
Saturday I woke up and decided to go on a ride with my friends here in Missoula. I fixed up my road bike into a Cyclo Cross Bike for this one ride because i knew there was going to be a gravel road section. Long story short, we rode up and over Deer Creek Pass via logging roads and singletrack back into town through Pattee Canyon. What is so bad about that? Broken spokes front and rear with a broke free hub body to boot.
After bumming out all evening Saturday I decided to take Sunday off and fix the bikes up the best I could. I found a freehub body and spokes at Open Road and went to work on the bikes. The TREK frame is ruined so I made it into a singlee speed (a good climbing gear). The road bike I was able to fix completely. I found some extra time in the evening to go for a ride up pattee Canyon. Why is this bad? Try a brutal down-pour.
Monday after a rough day at work and ate chocolate all day. Why is this bad? I went home and fell asleep … missing my hike with Marcy. Marcy would make me pay a little later.
On Tuesday I went for a small ride to gear up for the season. I rode out towards Rock Creek and the ride was flat. The day was beautiful, a much needed break from the cold. Why is this bad? Try flatting and having to use thee credit card to get a new tube and c02.
That brings us to last night, Wednesday. I decided to take a long road bike trip up the Blackfoot. The day was qwesome and it definately felt like spring. What is wrong with that? I can say that the rest of the evening will explain! I got to about 45 minutes out and realized that in my rush to get going from work I left the key in the door of my car and my laptop was just sitting in the front deat waiting to be stolen.
I tried to rush back only to get anouther flat tire. I was able to finally get back to the car and took the same trip to the bike shop that i took the day before. To top of everything I got home to find that Marcy had ripped apart my $40.00 fleece slippers that I had bought last year to camp with. And there you go … she got back for not getting to go hiking on Monday.
