Friday. Cracked crank, oh no. This meant replacing the whole damn bottom bracket, as the chainset I bought in July 1998 was already out-dated with the square section axle. So I couldn't get a replacement anywhere. Went to Parkers yesterday and was sort of worried that the new axle wouldn't fit. Well it did. The frame wasn't designed for the old Shimano c/s, so the Octalink fitted a treat ! Far better than the bodge last year with an wide Ultegra b/b, it all fits beautifully. So then onto the North had a meal at Lal Heweli and a visit to her sister. A nice quiet evening. Then on the M6 at Wolverhampton it was down to 1 lane, there were a couple of lorries stopped, and in front something covered in a white sheet. Well, that thing was a body. Seems someone walked onto the motorway, it was on BBC news this morning. Oh, a shame.
Weight is up over 75Kg, it was 76 at the end of the week before last, now with only 1 interval session this week its creeping up. Not been overdosing on crisps or cheese though, must be just the lack of training. Could be riding on the track this evening if Dave brinks his track bike along, and it fits me OK. Must do a 2 hour level 3 session tomorrow (Its in my schedule which I have followed to 50% so far this week.
