Yes, better known for their BMX...and BMX components... I have some nice Redline cranks in a box somewhere!

Just 20 km along the river to the public pool next town and back. Needed the rear wheel for my touring bike, which I finally rebuilt, so this one sat in the attic for almost a year

Tonight's POETS CC ride.
Everything was beautiful, including the excruciating climbs (the last one off road, averaging at 16.5%).
The beer was cold and the blood has dried!

By way of contrast to all those sunny northern hemisphere rides, here we're back to wind, rain and cold, but as today's precipitation was occasional drizzle rather than full downpour, I ventured forth on the usual MTB tracks outside town. It wasn't destined to be a record-breaking event, but getting dirty on the Soma Groove was still so much better than sitting on a static trainer indoors.

The benefit of the weather was that I had the whole landscape to myself. The downside is that stopping for pics wasn't much fun and they wouldn't have looked like much anyway. Returned home after 19 soggy km feeling warmed through and a little self-satisfied. Cleaning the bike off was another story, but worth it just to have been out in the fresh air for an hour or so.

I've barely had a chance to ride lately. I've been working so much and I've developed health problems which are likely to be stress related from work (apparently stress can really f**k your body up - I need to find a new job).

Tonight I think I released all of my frustrations because I've never pushed myself that hard before. My body hates me but to feel like I have a purpose again...I will take the pain any day.
