Crunch, Crisis or whatever you call it

I am referring to the country's economic status at the present. Well on Friday afternoon, it caught up with me. I am not to worried about things as of yet but it still is nagging at me from somewhere deep with in. I am trying to keep a positive attitude as I move on. Today's solo 50 or so miles in the saddle sure helped but there is nothing like riding with good friends. At least tomorrow's ride will be shorter and will be with others. Hopefully the wind isn't as bad as today.

Hope all of you are doing well during these times and just as it has been said many times before, be thankful for what you have and for having a job. I hope none of you has to get laid off like me.

This is what your lever and bar's typically look like. Notice the rubber part that extends down onto the bar, connecting with the bar tape.

This is what it should look like when you fold up the rubber part off of the hood part and away from the bars.

Here is an inside view after folding the rubber part up. As you can see my finger is holding back a piece of bar tape that was covered by the rubber piece. My finger is pointing at the screw you should see to tighten up. Your bar tape may be covering it up, that's why you might have missed it. Let me know please how things work out.

Cannot find the words with how much this speaks to me in so many ways. Hope you enjoy.

Well hello there. How is everything going with you and those surrounding you? Things here keep progressing in a good light. The legs are getting stronger as I am being strict about my time in the saddle. Work is picking up again thankfully as well.

What I am most happy with at the moment is that I get to get out of town for the weekend and get to enjoy another love of mine. Dirt track racing! So this is where you will find me.

Hope you guys have fun with however you fill up your weekend. Whether that be battling the snow in Maine or hoping the trails thaw so you can go ride in PA. Catch you guys soon.
