we got a very spiffy brand new fluid2 resistance module yesterday for my very old fluid+ trainer and boy is it a lot nicer than what i've had. no request for the original purchase receipt (which i do not have), no inspection of the resistance unit, just a replacement. saris rules and for this reason alone it would be a sound investment to buy from them if in the market for a trainer. i rode it a very little just to feel the difference - night and day. the old resistance unit has been slowly leaking for several years - i wish i had inquired with them sooner!

my allergy appointment didn't go as planned yesterday (read: no ibruprophen challenge) so i had some time on my hands. i should have gone back to work but i didn't. i was feeling pretty lousy from this cold so i also should have gone home and rested. i didn't do that either. i kitted up and headed to badger prairie for some impromptu cross practicing in daylight. it felt good to get out and ride (even though i didn't feel well).

i rode in this morning and it was pretty cold (19 degrees when i left the house). i stayed pretty warm except for my feet but even that wasn't too bad.

happy friday.
