Perhaps just a touch of Belgium to keep the spirits up. Seven more days, three and half days of walking all day on concrete and working on dirty loud machines and robots, and then the rest of the week and the ride. I met a complete stranger at the book store looking at bike books. Evidently this young woman had just gotten into riding and was planning a long distance ride with her dad in the near future. She owned a relic old bike that the derailer had come off and she said it didn't work right and it was so old, no one would work on it. Well, I gave her my number and I volunteered to fix it next week. I assume the spring in the derailer had popped out when it came unscrewed. She had such a desire to ride with her dad and wanted a bike so bad, I just had to help. I love bikes. I fixed another friend's bike that she bought from a pawn shop. I had to put one of my used chains on it to work, and the front derailer was trash, but I got it to work. Someone had had the crank arms at 90 degree angles. I feel the need to rescue old bikes. It is like the island of misfit toys!<BR/>http://rickierainwater.blogspot.com/Rickie Rainwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315426223545490980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669315206751120504.post-11068571635393210452008-10-04T14:00:00.000+02:002008-10-04T14:00:00.000+02:00Is it really supposed to be sunny and 20° on Monda...Is it really supposed to be sunny and 20° on Monday - halleluia!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11660226121368987312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669315206751120504.post-12258679965349459792008-10-03T21:18:00.000+02:002008-10-03T21:18:00.000+02:00thanks for choosing me for your team! i feel guilt...thanks for choosing me for your team! i feel guilty to say that i hadn't actually registered a team yet - until i read your comment!

Good work on getting in just before the hail hit. Ouch that stings!<BR/><BR/>It'll be great to see 'cross stars such as Nys and Wellens duking it out with the who's who of the MTB world. Might even inspire to me to get an MTB for the summer months too.<BR/><BR/>You don't have to sell CX magazine to me, I already subscribe, and I am loving the print, pouring over each issue and looking forward to the next popping through the letter box. Number 1 read in the next issue??? Your interview with Sven Nys!!!
