I want to start by mentioning how impressed I am with Neuvation Cycling’s customer service. Just five minutes after I emailed them at http://neuvationcycling.com about my rear wheel issue, I was informed that a new wheel is already on its way, along with a return postage label for the old one. Their customer support is exceptional. Although I used to email John directly, I now contact them through customerservice@, but the service remains outstanding.
Last night, I broke the wheel during hill sprints up Marshal Canyon Road.
Today is my birthday, and I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has sent me birthday wishes. This morning, I went for a training ride on my Trek MTB, only to remember that I had removed its brakes last weekend. I ended up running through the first stop sign I encountered – that was a close call! Additionally, when I arrived at work, I realized I had forgotten to pack my regular clothes. Fortunately, thanks to Action Wipes and an extra pair of riding shorts I had, the situation was somewhat salvaged. Close one!
And yes, I am 43 today!
