I pulled a muscle in my groin the other day so have been having treatment at Stafford Chiropractic clinic and not riding. So time on my hands. Always looking positive I took the opportunity to get my race bike up to speed ready for the rest of the season, sorting out various problems I have been nursing for a month or so.
Cycle Shack have had the rear wheel in for what looks like its final service, the Roval Controle is looking very tired after nearly 3 years but should be OK to last out the season, its loose spokes now tight and true. I also gave the freewheel a service.
I’ve had my brakes and fork looked at (more of that in another post) and last on the list is a headset service and some new cables.
I’ve also got some new shorts, thanks CycleShack. They are Italian rh+ from http://www.zerorh.com I initially got a medium as normal but those Italians are a little on the small side so I’ve exchanged them for a large now. They should be good for next weekend Sleepless in the Saddle if I can be fit in time and CycleShack can juggle a team together.
In the mean time Ill carry on with the Visa application for Russia which is turning into a administration nightmare !
So one more treatment on Friday, a weekend of recreational rides and then back to the training….
