Mike Bike Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I just can't wait to get out there now - but so much to do first! New wheels need to be finished, taped and tyres mounted, Stans poured in. Rotors mounted, cassette installed. Bike washed (still dirty from Sani). Front brake to be bled, drivetrain to be cleaned and lubed. Then the early morning wake up and drive to the race....what about breakfast? Will my toddlers sleep through and allow me to get some quality sleep the night before the race? Not likely.... 75km in the Magaliesberg is the least of my worries at the moment hopefully you took a day off work?
divernick Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 hopefully you took a day off work?FFS. No. Stressing. Might have to bunk this afternoon

nick_the_wheelbuilder Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Shameless plug (as seen on Twitter) The 1st 2015 MM rider to order a custom wheelset from us gets free labour worth R700.

Sitting in bed watching TV now. Sipping on a whiskey to put the brain into lull mode (I know I shouldn't, but it works). Got to get up at 5 - sigh. But amped to do my first MM.
