haha - well last night I skated with my son's hockey team and again I did all of the sprints at the beginning and end of practice with them. Came home, ate, got a chain on my single speed - went out to do a short night ride on it to the supermarket and promptly snapped the chain in two before I even got out of my apartment complex driveway. :(

I should have never messed around with new gearing I guess. Oh well. It did feel better when the chain was working.

Bummer, dude!!!


The usual for me. Worked legs last night and I am already feeling it. I am going to be hobbling around in pain for the next two days. :(

No riding for me for a couple of days. I have to go to the Hospital and get a Bioptic procedure, a bone marrow test, X-Rays, some kind of special MRI, blood crap, and just generally a bunch of needles and crap put in me. If I am up for it I may ride Saturday, that is if the weather holds out. This is going to suck. The worst part is seeing all the sick kids in the waiting rooms. That and the waiting....jdcamb

Been going to the rock climbing gym lately - last night was a flop-a-thon. I feel like I got hit by a truck.

Any CT monkies that are interested (IAB, MBC and MMcG I'm looking in your direction...), you're all welcome to join us - no experience necessary.

How much does this cost Tony? Will it cut heavily into my bikey savings fund?

It's like $22 to try it for the first time (equipment rental and day pass). If you like it, you can get a harness, chalk bag and shoes for like $150, then either pay by the day ($15 I think), get a 10-visit pass ($120) or an unlimited month pass (what I do - $60). The gym is down in Wallingford. Of course there's always post climb carbo-loading at the (no longer) Smokey Bar afterward too...

If I try it and like it I fear another expensive hobby coming on. Maybe I should stick to bikes and maybe inline hockey or indoor soccer.
