:: It's On ::

:: monday am sitting at 'work' the back was twinging, and thoughts of another season over before it started crept in. since productivity was exceptionally low anyway, i phoned the shop and scheduled a fitting. g-man quickly noticed a 1.5cm hip imbalance, and coupled with low knees and high hips, the fitting took alot longer than either of us expected. after flipping the stem for a wicked rise, tweaking fore aft position, cleat placement, and adding a shojo sized saddle, i was off. aside from feeling like i was 11ft tall and being wary of corners, i felt like a new cyclist. for the first time in almost 9 months no twinge. generally after a ride it feels like there's been a parade of elephants across my back, but now it's like i've been to the spa. tuesday am we tweaked the tt position, and thankfully for my ego it doesn't look like my walmart inspired road bike. on the way home i was about to hit some construction when the flagger flipped the sign, smiled and waved. i shifted into 55x11 and put my head down and thought, it's on. ::
