Weekend coming, who's excited about watching the UCI mountain bike (DH) world cup over on Redbull TV? Battle up top between Bryceland (Santa cruz), Brosnan (Specialized), Gwin (Specialized). With only a couple of points separating them from each other taking the overall riders championship this year will go down to the fastest, luckiest going down the mountain. Not to mention all of the other riders vying for end season points and fame conquering pure technical course at Meribel, France.
Fearless prediction Ratboy Bryceland for the overall, but Sam Hill for the WIN on this track.

Headaches followed by...
Lately been experiencing headaches, followed by upper and lower teeth aches on right part of my head and jaw. According to the internet it is Sinusitis...hey! Welcome old friend. Have not felt you for quite a while (sarcasm).
Fix-er-upper
Last week my very old car developed a squeak on the engine after I showed some poseur crossover how to choke on 30 year old car exhaust fumes. Turns out that the main bolt holding the compressor lost A nut. Luckily the bolt did not fell-off, instead the excess movement of engine bumped the bolt on top of the rotor compressor grinding its head causing the mickey mouse squeak. Got a screw driver, tapped the bolt and since it was barely holding the compressor it came lose and returned right into its proper orientation, found a similar sized spare nut on one cars compartments. Hand tightened the thing and all is well.
This is why I love OLDER cars. Can you fix yours with a screw driver and just your hand?
Something bike related
Hah it has been a while. EL Camino will now be sporting a top-tube/frame attached mini-pannier courtesy of Ride Clyde Manila. Been bringing less stuff during current short rides and instead of shoving everything on my pockets, and man bag, will now be using those babies instead.
Test fitted the bag with usual spares, tools, I usually carry along ANY ride it works great. Stay tuned for upcoming product preview (Wednesdays) Iberra Top-tube; mini pannier bag.
