During my ride on Thursday my bike was creaking a lot and it was getting annoying. I thought it was the headset because when I swapped the parts around before the bearings had gotten a little sloppy. I could get it tight enough to not have a lot of slop in it. But when I got done with the lap at the camp I look closely at the “danger area” on the GF, Grand Failure as I like to call it, and it has a barely noticeable crack. I thought it was some dirt on the frame that looked like the crack, so I wiped some spit on the area and the line didn’t disappear. So now I have a record of the length of time it takes to crack a frame, 28 days.
I am pretty sure that this is the bike I am going to be looking at for next year. I will have a GF frame for sale when I get the other one from warranty. I am hoping that Jeff gets the demo Epic in so I can try it out before the camp closes for the season.
Hopefully everyone likes the course tomorrow. I was riding there on Monday with Nate and we ran into Jon. I seen that he was working on the descent to the bridge that was incredibly slippery last year. I am excited to go and race tomorrow, I hope that I have some fitness left since I haven’t rode a lot in a while. Good luck to all that race tomorrow.
Later
