I’m not sure what is was but the lunchtime rides felt good today. Going up the hill just seemed easier than usual. Maybe having a lunch with no carbs makes a difference? Who knows.
Going down again wasn’t quite so good. I kept losing my chain. I might see if I can adjust my chain guide down a bit tonight to see if it helps. To be fair my chain ring, chain and cluster are pretty worn. Unfortunately I got the wrong cluster when I ordered replacements so I have to wait for the XD version to arrive which might take a while given how slow things are coming through from Aliexpress at the moment.
Beer of the day: Epic’s Armageddon IPA. A gift from Sean and a pretty nice gift at that - full of flavour.
Song of the day: Stick ‘Em Up by Quarashi. I have to admit I can’t make out half of what is being said but it’s definitely got rhythm and rhyme. Great for all out downhills (as long as you don’t drop your chain).
