Last night was a good case of liver punishment thanks to some of Belgian’s finest beer. Today I feel unfit and rather in need of more sleep than I’m going to get. At the time it seemed like a good idea. As did the kebab on the way home. The cold light of morning always sheds a different light on such things.
Laura’s been racing out in Colorado and managed a good 10th spot in a recent Traithlon. She’s too modest to admit it, but she’s a bit of legend when it comes to running, biking, snowboarding – probably pretty much anything she turns her hand to. Jealous yet?
Finally finished my write up on the Enduro test ride. Read it here.
I’ve been playing with the E5 today. All this summer weather finally has me in the road bike mood. Now just watch it tip it down before I get a chance to do some mileage. Photos coming soon I hope. I’ve been having a right faff with the integrated headset. It now seems to be working okay since I removed the rubber seal from above the upper bearing. Need to get some miles in before I can tell if the original problem of the steering tightening up is going to come back to haunt me.
I’ve also been looking at a successor. One of these looks very nice. But WTF is going on with the build up on that. The forks might grow on me, but those wheels? That seatpost and white bar tape? Pearson would not be impressed with that, maybe if he gets a Litespeed it’ll look a whole lot better.
This came in from Big Dave. Life in the Gulf just sounds dull for this rider right now

Subject: Get paid to rally!!!!Here’s a good one for everybody.
The local Kuwaiti paper had a small (and I emphasize small) article involving the following:
Remember all the Pro-American rallies that were being held in Kuwait City and other places around the world? Well this article tells about a wealthy Gulf resident who was at work watching tv. (no one really works in the gulf) He’s watching this rally and he sees his maid carrying a sign in the rally. He goes home and she shows up. He asked her what she was doing at the rally. She said she went to the rally because she got paid $10 american dollars and a free lunch.
What’s up with that? Sounds like Operation Ajax in Iran.
