weird...3 days of consecutive riding, 3 days of no health issues...hmmm...Guess i need to ride more!

Other weirdness. Swapped the cockpit from the Sycip to the Monocog. Decided to do some measuring. top tube = same, seat tube = same. Which doesn't make sense. Both bikes side by side, the monocog is a bigger frame. Looking at the amount of seatpost out of the frame it is obvious. Downtube is 1 1/2" shorter on the Sycip. The Sycip is also 1" longer in the chainstays. I'd pretty much say setting these bikes up with the same cockpit is not going to yield the same results.

Either way, hope to test it out tomorrow on the wnr depending where they go. Should probably ride tranq as it is what i know best and a good gauge to how the Sycip handles compared to the 'cog. Who knows, as usual i am over thinking all of it and just need to ride...

hmm, i really need to post more on here but really nothing too exciting going on...

School has begun and with my 2 youngest both in high school, i can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Wiki-d starts college at Metro tues. Got a late start on sign up due to switching schools, so he only got into 2 classes. He will hit full time next semester once financial aid kicks in. I think this is a good way to get him started in college.

The beetle has been back in action for almost 3 weeks. Sense then she has hit a curb and knocked the grill off. It then overheated because it knocked the lower rad hose loose at the same time. Got that all fixed and her car got hit at school and scuffed the new bumper cover. Then she got keyed this weekend at the mall. I really think this car is cursed! At least most of it should buff out...

Been riding a bit more. Got to hit the grand opening at Calvin Crest. The trail is sweet and Craig did a great job getting it ready. Been trying to ride more and work on the setup on the single speed. My body is kicking back and the doc isn't quite sure what to do with it. Been having massive leg cramps at night in my left leg. An ache in my right rotator cuff that hurts all the way to the front bottom of my ribcage, daily headaches and i puke after i eat about 70% of the time. Go in to get re-check for blood clots and a stress test next week. Fun...

Riding cc with Dale today and Swanson tomorrow with the Bike Way guys. Hope to see some of ya out there!
