ups and downs

good news: getting tipped a sixer of "fat squirrel" beer for being the (admittedly lesser) half of the mechanical team that got jennifer nowlin from peace coffee racing through a kickass season, kickass like first overall in her age group for women's elite mountain bikers, extra kickass because she just had a kid 6 months ago! whoop whoop!

bad news: having the 43 lb, 8' trailer that you're pulling full of bikes for your job be so poorly maintained that it flips 3 times during the course of two store to store transfers and breaks the fork on your 'cross bike. the week before you are going to start racing. and the warranty won't cover it. and the aforementioned job won't cover it. ugh. looks like i'll be racing 'cross on my single speed mountain bike. and a new fork will run me $220 that i don't have. anyone need some plasma?

blerg.
