Its been another manic few days in the workshop for me this week.  I've got gear cables coming out my nose, and my first two fingers are practically dissolved with hydraulic fluid - I still can't bring myself to wear those latex gloves that are sitting in the back cupboard.... 

And while I've been preoccupied with getting our custumers riding in time for the weekend, the Winter Series had been sneaking up.  In fact, we're due to go racing this Sunday.  The debut appearance of the Real Cycles/Commencal DH team.  That's the Real Cycles Commencal DH team, at the first round of the ChainReaction/Epic MTB Winter league.  This Sunday, at Moneyscalp forest, Co. Down.  We friendly enough, so make yourself known at our gazebo (if it hasn't blown away already). 

This afternoon I filled up our spares box with everything I could find... mechs, chains, pads, brakes, pedals, mud tires, a gazillion tubes, a few wheels (they didn't fit in the box so well), chain device bits.  I mean, they're smooth, what else could they possibly break?  Oh, and some Jaffa cakes.  I figure the boys might be needing some of those. 


The treasure chest....

Some shiny bits arrived for me today.  I'm off for a play in the garage - you might see the fruits of my labour on Sunday.  See ya then
