Laundry list...

Oh hello, I didn't see you there...

Ohh, it's the deep burn. Oh, it's so deep.

Today I took a rest day, as my entire body is sore from working out on a regular basis. Tomorrow and Friday are going to be glorious out, so I plan on riding my bike to and from work on both days (we'll see how I feel on Friday though....).

Looking over Margaret, now that riding season is upon us, I have come up with a short 'to do' list:

• Straighten Chainline (critical for fixed gears / single speeds)
• This may come down to me purchasing that Phil Wood Bottom Bracket I mentioned a couple of posts ago that would allow me to put in a more narrow spindle (that I purchased years ago)
• Install new chain and fix eccentric front crank
• I think the chain is being stretched and worn out from an overly eccentric front crank (some points in the revolution make the chain tenser than others)
• Take off the red paint on the front fork arms, revealing glorious chrome much like this:

Oh so classy. Only the fork ends would be chrome though, the connecting bit would still be that candy red.

I'm pretty excited about those fork arms, As I just noticed the chrome under some of the red paint that had been scuffed off.

So that's the sum total of the situation thus far. The disparity in effort between actively getting fit and passively getting fat is unfairly enormous, but I'm staying the course and not sabotaging myself; I know this is going to take time and it will be worth it when I come out the other side.


Have a good rest of the week everyone!
