Got the aluminum from my crank threads cleaned out of my pedal threads last night... I think the pedals are salvagable. Got my bike in the truck today - heading over to the LBS on my lunch to have them look at the stripped crank. Hopefully I'll have some options.

I actually worked on my bike.....
Had play YET AGAIN in my suspension.
Took shock off, took lower mount bolt and bought longer bolt with more shank to replace at a screw shop....Took shock to lbs.
everyone at the lbs was busy so i went in the back and looked around for an eternity for a screw to use as a template to cut the bolt to size. After a while my favorite mech found some time to grab a dowel deal to push the lower shock eyelet sleeve out and replace it with a new one. Old bushings still fit tight good to go.
Then showed off bikey shoes and dianese elbow/forearm pads that i took to a shoe repair store to get grommets instead of the cheeseball platic loops to use for the laces and to put snaps on velcro straps where the fabric tore out on the elbow, now it doesn't have to be sewn back together, snaps keep it in place good.
All this and a spot from above my right hip still is sore from crashing hard at a switchback. A day of non-riding full of riding stuff.

I'm in the same boat as IAB - sore as hell from hockey - but I plan to get out on the ice with my Son's team tonight.

Today would have been a good day to play hooky and get a ride in - it would be a cold one but the sun is out and it got cold enough last night for the trails to really harden up I bet.

I need a personal Massuese!
