Making the leap

One leap has already been made -- to SRAM components, which I love -- but there's another leap undergoing testing today.

I'm off the painkillers. It's been almost 24 hours. I think I'm gonna be OK.

Most notably, my stomach doesn't hurt. It's been a little achy since the crash, most likely because of the massive amounts of ibuprofen and Aleve I've been sucking down.

But it's a little after 10, and I'm only a little bit sore. If not for the questionable weather -- it seems to be on the verge of raining -- I'd go for a quick little ride. As it is, I think I'll stick to staying inside and hoping the shop ride happens.

As long as there's no lightning, I'm gonna roll. I haven't been excited to ride in the rain for a long time. Or ever.
