Wipe Out… Reply

Today, as I rode on a long wooden bridge (a wet, somewhat pollen covered bridge) as fast as I might, I touched my brake too hard and went down–twice actually. So, I post this with a sprained wrist (from the second fall) and my Project One in the hospital (LBS) for replacement of the rear brake and derailleur control.

While it’s there, I have a few other things done–replace the handlebar, chain, and rear cassette. I’ve put a lot of miles on this bike since its purchase and I tend to do at least one upgrade annually–this year the handlebar. I just did not know it would be today that the Project One would get it do.

t least, I have another road bike to ride and I have my bents. I plan to ride tomorrow morning’s C4 Club Ride. I’m treating the wrist with a wrist band and taking Advil. We will see…

The next time I tour with the RANS Stratus, I’ll do so a bit lighter. I recently had my Motion M1400 Tablet PC repaired. I’ll use it to blog and record my Garmin Edge 305 rides rather than my Dell Inspiron Laptop.

Further, although not supported my Motion Computing, I’ve installed Windows Vista Business on the Tablet PC. If you are interested in doing the same, see this wiki. Thanks WNewquay [also of TabletPCBuzz] for your notes. I once posted a bit there in an effort to assist fellow computer users.
