i gotta say, today was a good day

and by today i mean yesterday. after the meeting yesterday where i felt like i was killing it, i headed to cross practice and came away with the same feeling. my confidence is growing on that bike and i still haven't ridden with tubulars (specifically, i was riding with over inflated clinchers). my legs were feeling pretty good and i was riding fast but in a controllable way relative to my breathing. hopefully i can keep building on this as we move into the racing season.

speaking of building, the moto is all but built up. i am having some trouble getting the rear shifting dialed, i can't get the chain to stay in the innermost cog. i adjust the L screw appropriately, and feel like the derailleur is indexed properly, so i'm not quite sure what is going on. often, i get frustrated and can't figure something out until i walk away and come back to it later. hopefully that is how this plays out.

next on my bike to do is gluing up the racing ralphs to the ea70x wheelset. i'm hoping to start over the weekend. saturday is d-day relative to our deck. i've committed my entire day to getting the stain stripped off. we are stripping one last time since we used a water/latex based stain last time but now we are switching back to an oil based product. if all goes as planned, we will just re-apply in subsequent years after a good washing (without stripping). we'll see i guess!

i have dentist appointment in a little bit. oh joy.

happy thursday.
