Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Workout 3 and core/ rehab. Added in some sets of medium-wide grip pull-ups.
Also hauled another load of wood out of the bush.

Easy jog/ hike with the little guy.

Mounted up the summer wheels and rode the high dry section of the kbash woods out back to slosh the sealant around and tune the gears and brakes.
Main doubletrack I avoided still has some ice and definitely mud in the low sections.

Palgrave West with the big boy. He was in his glory.
We avoided muck bits, and only saw 2 groups of people, all at a big distance.

Finished up home gym workout 2.

Out with the big boy to the k-bash trails, then a cooldown loop with the little guy. Gorgeous spring day.

Part of workout 2 plus some core and rehab.

Went in to work to see two emergencies that fit the narrow criteria to be both essential and low risk of infection (risk is mostly to me and my staff). No charge but glad to do something semi-useful. I wish the Royal College would either help us get the right protective equipment to deal with regular dental emergencies or order most dentists to close up completely and designate a limited number of emergency clinics with sufficient PPE so my patients can get their broken teeth and lost fillings at least temporarily replaced

There are 15-minute Covid tests being developed. Not cheap, but they may help remove some uncertainty.

I wonder if work will ever be the same again when this is all over. This may be the beginning of the end for my career, although I know it will be gang-busters once we can safely work again.

More googling, and I heard mention of a mythical tire lever method to seat a super-stubborn tubeless bead.

Eventually found this video.

A bit hard to exectute, but then pumped up the reservior, popped the valve and “spang”!! Done in one!

C • Tubeless 3

Decided to de-snowtire the ‘bent, at least the front end, as it was dumping rain or howling wind out.
Switched back to the summer fork and 2.3” studded skinny on my old wheel.
I took off the big studded snow tire, then spent way too long trying to get the summer tire back on the carbon rim. Lots of mess but no success. Stan’s sealant everywhere. I think they changed the rim tape when the shop mounted the big tire. I guess I could log pumping up the air reservoir to 220 PSI and blasting it into the tire unsuccessfully at least 25 times with various rim strap options.

In other news- Did have several nice Zoom sessions with friends and family during the day, including a particularly amusing one with my brother trying to get Mom talked through the process.
