Down and Out

I don't think I've ever been this sick. I can't even walk up my front steps without getting winded which then cuases me to start coughing up a storm. It's crazy. Breathing deeply is my enemy. I re-arranged the compound last night to make room for more of the little mans stuff and I think that was the most the bikes have moved in two weeks. They moved from one side of the compound to the other. This winter the Giant needs a full tear down. I've made it my goal to upgrade...yes...all you out there that make fun of my bullet proof STX-RC (early 90's)_ throw back trigger shifters...mind you, they have never broken, never got stuck, never froze, and never failed me in the worst conditions ..well I am upgrading after 3 seasons of racing. I know, you are thinking, finally he is gonna get some nice 9speed pods on that rig....what..no way.. I got some brand new Deore XT 8speed triggers. 9speed stuff is to fragile in the mud, 8 speed still churns it out and never need a delicated cleaning...So, the Giant is getting a tear down this winter, the ESC_GT will get tuned before heading back to its owner and the schwinn will have the full Gus overhaul and ready for wells ave this spring. All the luck to Trebon in Euoroland in the coming weeks. Till then......

All I can say is rest up and start popping that Vit. C. I was sick like this for 3 weeks back in like May, I had a little sick but stubborn me decided to race anyways in the freezing rain, paid for it later when I was so sick for 3 weeks I couldn't even get my foot over my bike.
