TOC and other things

Well the Tour of California finish was a-maz-ing. More people than I've ever seen in Escondido. Saw the race in two locations (or Bear Valley Parkway and the last corner) and somehow managed to get a spot almost dead in front of the podium for all the jersey presentations. My camera unfortunately had some power issues (charger hadn't been working - didn't know til too late; only brought one camera) so the pics I got on my phones were pretty lame. No pics to post :-(
Managed to do a front-end rebuild on the Miata over two evenings to fix a leak at the water pump (Miatas may be small and fun to drive, but the engine bay is small and no fun to work in!) and joined the San Diego Miata Club. Planning to join them for a drive to Borrego Springs this weekend - good chance to shakedown the car and figure out how to tweak the suspension set up as it's not handling right just now. Which reminds me - I need to go check tyre pressures adn such before I go to work.

This is getting ridiculous

So I yet again manage to not update this for ages . . . . and so much has happened lately! Left one job, started another, re-engaged a client and found at least one new client . . . and maybe that's why I haven't been on my bike in forever and as a result I'm turning in to a lard-ass.
Time to change. Going to watch the final stage of Tour of California tomorrow and hopefully find some fun gear to get me excited about riding again. I'm looking forward to getting my one-off custom bike kit from Sugoi (thanks to my wonderful Helen!) which will also no doubt inspire me to get out there and show it off . . . pics will be forthcoming :-)
