time for a new bike

If Wednesday’s are my Isonobe days, Thursdays tend to be my coast road days. I’ve been using the coast road much more this year. Good for speed work and good for recovery. A bit of a sore throat today. Hopefully it won't develop into a cold. A nice easy ride on the coast.

Today I rode my carbon bike for the first time in a while. It has a crack in it and will be disassembled soon, with the parts going on to a new frame.

I noticed the bottom bracket is becoming worn and loose again. That’s the third one in less than 18 months. FSA really are rubbish. With the new frame on the way, I am thinking about breaking the bank even more with a new Dura Ace or Campagnalo crankset.

Anyway, really looking forward to the new bike. Titanium. Hand made in the USA by Lynskey (the original Litespeed). One of their top-end models, so I’d better do it justice!

Thursday’s training: coast road nice and easy (55 km, 200 m climbing)

Fridays tend to be asaren days but the weather looks a bit dodgy tomorrow. I need to save the legs anyway for a run out at the Happodai Hill Climb on Sunday, so maybe time for a rest…..
