However I managed to screw up my knee which got infected. Had to take a couple of days off, still on antibiotics and it was well nigh impossible to bend the knee for long.
So, regrettably, my unbroken sequence of 1692 has been cut short by about 390 days. Bummer.
Much as I hate to fall back on excuses I think I'll give myself a free pass on this one.

While being looked over, the mechanic took the brake pads out too heat them and drive any water out of them as they were squeaking. While he did this, the brake pad separated from the metal plate, so now that's a warranty claim to process.
Hopefully I will get it Friday?

Almost healed? almost healed as you can ride? OR not healed enough?nezumi wrote:I am being kept from commuting on my bike because of the fact that the bike is in the shop for servicing.
If it's healed enough and you're just waiting for a bike, then DENIED
N+1 is the answer
if you're still not physically well enough, then ok
geez, I'm tough

Almost healed as in I can put pressure on the palm, but a rough surface would be.... unpleasant... to say the least.jasonc wrote:Almost healed? almost healed as you can ride?

Plus, the Financial Controller has nixed any suggestions of a "backup" bike (endurance road bike) for the moment.
My theory is that she likes riding her terrible rescued steel Repco MTB, and will like riding rail trails even more if we get her a suitable steed.... Which means *I* can then get a new bike, too!

Didn't think transporting my full catcher's kit on the bike was going to be viable. Train instead.
Do I get a pass?

It's less a weight issue than a bulk issue. My kit bag is 36.5" long x 12" high x 14.5" wide. Weight is probably around 12 kilos (Bat, 2 x batting helmets, chest guard, catching helmet, leg guards, 2 x catcher's mitts)jasonc wrote:it's a 50-50 nezumi. how heavy is the full catchers kit?

Get a 42" long board ratchet strapped on for a base, bonus chill out kick and glide before getting serious with the catchers kit.nezumi wrote:It's less a weight issue than a bulk issue.
