Last night a strong thunder stormed moved through the area leaving us running around our rooms closing windows and grabbing drying clothes from the balcony. Made you wonder what the net day would be like.
This morning we woke to variable conditions. After breakfast we decided wait out the weather and tune our bikes before making ride plans. However, ride plans were soon derailed as we hunted down a loud click on Tom's bike. After adjusting the headset, stem and wheels I made the fortunate and unfortunate discovery that Tom's frame had cracked on the downtube. It's good that the crack was found because if the frame was to fail at that point the consequences are hard to think about...ugly at best. As I write this Tom, Dan and Ryan our in town looking for a replacement.
No riding today and likely a late night building up a new bike for Tom.
Looks like the US did well in BMX!

At the rate that you break bike frames Tom, I think you maybe you are a beefcake.
Not sure a new bike is in the budget this month!
Be safe!

Happy Birthday Tom.
I can practically hear Norton saying "damnit Tom I told you to only ride steel bikes".
Happy birthday Tom, this has to be a first where you are only the 3rd oldest out of 5.
Happy Birthday Tom. Glad you are
having such a terrific experience
time on your 45th.
Bed Safe!!
