CCR Newsletter 020910
Just a quick newsletter today for I am too tired to sit upright. GI training is taking its toll. After our stint to Mt Tambourine on Saturday, I did not have much energy left to do any more km’s. if it was not for Russell, I would most probably not have made it back to my house. Thanks Ironman Russell.
Tuesday morning ride saw me only doing ‘half’ laps around Raby Bay and for that reason, I am now the proud owner of THE SHAME doll aka SHREK. For those who don’t know anything about the SHAME doll – don’t worry, don’t get involved, because one day it might just come your way. So, today was my first day bonding with my new friend – I had a lot of time to bond with him and we had a good talk – all 173km of talk. He did tell me that he really like my bike and consider putting in a motion to the caretaker(Paolo) to stay on this beautiful SCOTT ADDICT. I can’t blame him – he has been on pretty ordinary bikes the past year, that black Ribble is just not comfortable and that green Marida, he told me is too slow. The Shame did tell me a couple of time on my ride this morning to go slower – he is not use to that kind of speed. I am now considering a name change and he wholeheartedly agreed – THE KEISER. After the ride, I gave him a chance to sit on my new Selle SMP and he had to fight back the tears as no one of the previous owners gave him that opportunity, maybe because they know their seats are not comfortable – he really enjoyed sitting there and asked me if Selle is doing one of those in his size as well. Hopefully next year. Tonight he will most probably have his own bed, made by my lovely 8 year old daughter. I don’t know if I am going to get it back though – we’ll have to see in the morning.
Enough!!!! Now to the good stuff. Saturday morning rides with WRCC is 05h00 from Capalaba – a good thing. We sold a couple more of those Selle SMP’s and the feedback has been great – “the best seat ever” , “I have struggle to find a seat for 10 years – this is the first one that suits me like a glove – the best investment I’ve made in a long time”. Remember, we have TEST saddles available – come book one please – they are currently all out, but will be back soon.
Bling bits – yes, personalise your ride now with some anodised colored bits – apart from the usual bits I spoke about last week, we have now tubes with anodised valve extenders – how good will that look with the colored valve caps!!! They are available in MTB and Road tubes. We will have colored titanium bolt soon – watch this space.
We, here at Cycle City wish you all the best for the coming weekend and remember – keep the rubberside down.
