Time to Put Up

My bike has been slowing falling apart.  And I’ve been complaining for too long.

At the Lookout Mountain HC last weekend, I had mechanical issues with my bike.  My bike kept dropping gears, there was a weird rattle somewhere in the bottom bracket, etc. 

The issues didn’t affect my time more than a couple of seconds here and there, but with how poorly I climbed that day, it didn’t make a spit of difference.

So, with the Sunshine HC this weekend — and whatever goals I have for the rest of the year – yesterday it was time to put up or shut up.

Last night, I dropped my bike off at Excel Sports to have a new 10-Speed Campy Chorus group installed.  In addition, I’m looking to buy a better wheel set.

Maybe I should have bought an entire new bike, but I couldn’t decide on what I want, so I compromised with new components.

We’ll see what the results will be. 

(I think I’m also going to buy a new pair of Bont Jet Inline Skates… just for grins.)
