Man what a day. Early ride with a customer. Deep breaths and a skinned elbow next we were working on building confidence and inner strength. Amazing what that lady was able to pull out of herself. A lot of soul was shown today in a short 8 mile loop on our road bikes.
Leaving the ride my car starts acting up, sputtering feeling like it wanted to back fire and not acting like the lovely Audi A4 should. Panic, drive to the shop, breathe Arleigh.. breathe. Panic all day. What the hell am I going to do if its a $1,000 repair or something? Finally get home tonight. A friend from Annapolis who works with Audi's was THANKFULLY online. Answer to my problem (I hope) new coil pack. Common problem with my model of car. I hope this is the answer!
Oh wait. There is more.
Go to pull out the lovely Lemond from the back of my car. Is that what I think it is? Yes there is a crack on both sides of the down tube right below my cable stops. I wonder if they will warranty it with another Lemond? They are out of business now... I might be screwed. Fingers crossed. So much for a long road ride on Tuesday.

Arleigh - thanks for the help at the shop today. Appreciate the time and sharing your experience. And uh ... good to meet you, too.
totally. behind the wheel is a human empowering the auto viper as an extension of ones ego/back half of an indenty lost in the tube and the toon. the cars yes but they are simple machines only slightly more complex than bicycles, the ones that drive them into your personal space they are the ones that should really be fucked for they are.
