Working afternoons shift this week, so ya think I be doing some good training in the daylight. Right?
WRONG! Staying awake in the wee hours or the night are not too good for training. Damn internet!
But anyways I got up early this morning to go and take my son to school, because I never get to see him on this shift.
The good thing about the internet though is the stuff I can learn and find on it. Like on Kijiji I found a set of Minora Magrollers/ with adjustable tension. $50. I went and picked them up this morning. (Technical development # 1.) They are in great shape, and are perfect for riding a single speed bike on, because I can use the tensioner mags it make it harder for me.
I tried riding my Tricross on them and it was fun. Almost falling a few times until I found out how to steer to the middle. The knobby cx tires didn't help much but I got the idea about riding the rollers anyway.
On monday after or while my last cx race video was uploading, I spent the time mcgyvering a new rig for my digi cam. I wanted something that was less shakey and a different POV. (development #2) Well I got it hooked up and was dying to try it out. I ended up patching together some velcro straps and a few other random straps. I put the camera in a little pouch with the case I made earlier and a wedge of foam. It feels great and it'll be pretty easy to smuggle into races and stuff.
So I went to my mini cx training park on Geneva street and did a few laps with the cam on. After my interval I almost passed out from pushing so hard, and I was probably dressed too warm. But anyway here is the footage. Mostly of my stem, because the angle needs to be wedged higher.
